Marriage enrichment weekends
We want to support the growth and health of marriages at Cornerstone, so we're running two marriage weekends in October/November to enable couples to invest intentionally in their relationship.
Building a Safe and Strong Marriage
Both marriage retreats will run the Building a Safe and Strong Marriage course. It's a Christian marriage-enrichment course created to help couples in nurturing and building their marriage. Couples will receive a workbook to accompany the video material.
