Festivals of Marriage
3-Day Weekend Retreat

Reawakening … Marriage Lived for the Glory of God 

Leave the busyness of life behind and retreat to a place where your only responsibility is to focus on your husband or wife, your marriage, and your relationship to God. Each FOM weekend offers:
 
  • Several "hot topic" workshops 
  • Worship sessions with speakers, drama, and music
  • Saturday afternoon date time 
  • a Candlelight Renewal of Vows ceremony
  • Locations that fit your travel budget and weekends that fit your schedule
 
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!

Only $129.00 per couple!

“The moment we left campus we were ready to return. We hope to make FOM a yearly event. My parents gave us the gift of the retreat last year, and this year we gave it to our brother and sister-in-law as a wedding gift. We are so thankful for the great things God is doing in our lives.”
Matthew and Amber Webb 

“As newlyweds, [we found] FOM offers a tremendous amount of information to help us prepare for the joys and trials ahead of us. We feel that we’ve been equipped with the tools to strengthen our marriage. Just six months removed from our wedding day, the renewal of vows brought us both to tears.”
Matt and Emily Laubhan 

“We have learned how to communicate on a deeper level; learned things about one another that we had never learned in our 14 years of marriage. This time together has improved our relationship and I am sure, improved our future.”
Joe and Jennifer Minshew

More Information

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.
