Festivals of Marriage
3-Day Weekend Retreat
No two marriages are the same. Sure, there are common problems in each, and similar joys. But every couple has specific and unique areas that need attention.
LifeWay's Festivals of Marriage enable you and your spouse to retreat to a place where you can focus on each other, your marriage, and your relationship to God. Each weekend offers:
-
Time to concentrate on your marriage, away from jobs, kids, and the daily grind
-
Several "hot topic" workshops of interest to you and your spouse
-
Worship sessions with speakers, drama, and music
-
Locations that fit your travel budget and weekends that fit your schedule
Plus, there are special events at 3-day Festivals of Marriage retreats, including Saturday afternoon date time and a Candlelight Renewal of Vows ceremony.
Pastors, ministers of education, and other church staff members — Attend a Festival of Marriage weekend to focus on your own marriage, but think of your marriage ministry as well. Healthy marriages make healthy families, and healthy families make healthy churches. Bring a group of couples from your church for a fun, relaxing event and strengthen your congregation, one couple at a time.
Reserve your place now. Some locations sell out quickly!

Group Discount…
Bring a group of 10 or more couples to the same FOM weekend and LifeWay will waive your 11th program fee. (Please send all forms together by mail or fax, or indicate you’re registering a group when you call a LifeWay registration representative.)
About Children…
Festivals of Marriage is an adults-only experience. Therefore, childcare is not available at any of these event locations. Because of the unique nature of this weekend and in consideration of other participants, please make arrangements for your children’s care at home.
Cancellations/Refunds:
Festivals of Marriage makes significant financial commitments based upon event registrations, and LifeWay absorbs a consequential portion of any participant cancellation costs. Therefore, a $50.00 non-refundable deposit is included in the program registration fee. Additionally, there are absolutely no refunds for registrations cancelled 30 days or less prior to the event. If you cancel prior to the event, you may transfer your registration to another couple or your registration may be transferred to another Festivals of Marriage event. For Ridgecrest and Glorieta, refer to your confirmation letter for cancellation policies.
Families are important to God. Marriage and Family are the foundations of strong churches, communities, and nations. That’s why, at Lifeway, we work hard to understand the changing dynamics of today's families. And we promise to provide biblically sound, culturally relevant, and life-transforming solutions to help churches build healthy marriages, rescue troubled relationships, and strengthen godly families.
