WELS National Marriage Enrichment Weekend
Every couple has them - those memories that bring a smile. The first kiss. A burnt meal. An inside joke. Marriages are full of such moments but they rarely flourish in minutes - they're formed through hours, days and years of dedication, communication and education. That's why your church offers marriage enrichment weekends. The WELS National Marriage Enrichment Weekend is based on biblical principles and designed to help you grow closer to each other and nearer to God. Our prayer is that this weekend fills your marriage with memorable moments for years to come. Go to www.welsmarriageretreat.org and check our the upcoming events in Orlando, FL, January 23-25.
