Marriage Retreat

Does anyone have any experience with military sponsored marriage retreats?

There are two coming up next year one Laughter-based and one Faith-based.  Are there any reccomendations?

PS I am not a regular poster but I do lurk and I was around more when DH was in training.  I'm Kat and DH is Air NG.

Re: Marriage Retreat

  • I asked some other friends about these recently and got really good reviews. We're actually going to one starting today. It's the laughter based one. I'm really excited about it; not just for the actual retreat sessions, but also because it happens to be taking place in one of the nicest resorts on the island and there's free childcare! So, all around, it seems like it's going to be a great experience. 
  • We went to our first one about a month ago. We had a great time. It was led by the chaplain so there were moments he talked about faith, but the video and discussion based off of it was more humor than faith based.

    My only complaint was that basically everyone I met and connected with is apparently PCSing in the next few months. There's another one in a week or two, but a lot of people just came home from deployment so the chaplain asked to let them have first priority.

    A friend of mine at the old unit has gone on multiple retreats and has nothing but good things to say.

  •  I have heard amazing things about the retreats so I actually just signed our family up for one!

    I'd love to hear about it when you get back. Smile

    I'll update when we get back Sat night. But I'm pretty sure I'll have nothing bad to say about 2 free nights in a 4 star resort, all meals included, and free childcare. :)

  • We go to one every year that our Chaplain sponsors and we have a blast every time.  We also learn something new every time.  I would highly recomend them.
