All marriages go through rocky times, and every married couple needs to be supported in their vocation to lifelong marriage. Here are two resources that are especially helpful, whether your marriage is strong, struggling, or somewhere in betweeen.
The Challenge of Marriage in Today's Society
This program is for couples with marital problems that want marriage help. Those who are considering marriage separation and those who are already separated or divorced are encouraged to consider the Retrouvaille Program. There is always hope of reviving your relationship.
Some couples come to Retrouvaille during the initial signs of a marriage problem. Other couples are in a state of despair and hopelessness when they attend the program.
Many lawyers and judges send couples to Retrouvaille as a prerequisite to filing for a divorce or rendering final decisions. Many marriage counselors and family therapists send their clients to Retrouvaille as a prerequisite to counseling. These professionals know that the tools of communication in marriage taught in the program are often what couples need.
The Retrouvaille program is for husbands and wives and is not designed nor intended for couples in a co-habitating relationship.
We recommend Dan Stokman as a Catholic marriage counselor here in the Twin Cities. If he does not have availability, he can point you to other good, Catholic marriage counselors he recommends.
