The Strong Marriage Retreat
Saturday May 14, 2022
The Delta Hotel by Marriott
2800 Shore Dr. Virginia Beach, VA 23451
Excellence in just about anything in life requires time, commitment, skill, and practice. Strong marriages are no different. Without knowing the skills or practicing what was once learned, frustration and resentment can creep into the relationship, and partners often settle for a marriage that could be stronger.
