The Married Couples’ Weekend took place on April 5-7. The weekend was held at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Huntington and 13 couples came together to work on their marriage relationships. Whether the couples are married for 5 or 50   years, there is room for improving their relationships. The weekend was led by Mike and Darlene McGovern and talks were given by the McGoverns, Ed & Maryann Caskin, Rob and Liz Palombo and Rich and Rosemary Maikis.

The theme of the weekend was Cultivating Spiritual Intimacy in Your Marriage. The goal was to grow in love, happiness and holiness with God and spouse. There were 4 tables and after each talk the couples had private discussion time and then time to go back to their table to share with other couples. This gave each couple the chance to think about the talk and apply it to their relationship. The table discussions reinforced the tools learned and lead to bonds between the couples at the table. The talks covered topics that a couple might not discuss on a daily basis.

Being together away from the world of distractions and focusing on relationship with God and each other is the greatest gift of the weekend.
