Help for struggling marriages
INDIANAPOLIS — For those who feel alone in their marriage, there is help. Retrouvaille (pronounced “retro-vi,” with a long “I”) means “rediscovery” and offers the chance to rediscover oneself, their spouse and a loving relationship in their marriage.
Tens of thousands of couples headed for divorce have successfully saved their marriages by attending the weekend and follow-up sessions. Retrouvaille is not a spiritual retreat, sensitivity group, seminar or social gathering.
To learn more about the program or to confidentially register for the March 13-15 weekend in Tipton and follow-up post-weekend sessions in Indianapolis, visit www.HelpOurMarriage.com or www.retrouvaille.org, email [email protected] or call 317-489-6811.
