While it would be earnestly honest to reveal that we came to the monastery “as required” by our preist. We wish to pass along that we left on Sunday with a feeling of accomplishment and a feeling that we had just added a little more horsepower to the engine that makes us go as a couple. Heartfelt thanks to each of you as you continue to journey through the enriching journey that is marraige. Your brutal honesty was refreshing and identifiable to us. We hope that our journey will be similar to yours and yet unique to fit us. Again, much thanks for taking the time from your family to come to the monastery and share yourselves so openly.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend. Chris and I have learned so much together this weekend. We feel we have a lot of new tools to help make our marriage successful. We enjoyed meeting all of you and witnessing your love for each other

Thank you for the eye opening weekend. I have been struggling with my faith and have started the healing process with God because of the past few days. Thank you for helping me bring him back into my life

Suzanne, As a mother and expectant mother, I know you have very little time to spare so thank you for spending your valuable time with us over the weekend. Troy and I weren’t forced to go through CEE, however my Lutheran pastor urged us to do some form of counseling. We had a recommendation for CEE and being Troy is Catholic, we moved forward with the weekend. We (admittedly) drudgingly drove up after a long, hard work week in DC to the Spiritual Center in MD, but now are so grateful we did. Through our 3 years of dating, we have broached many of these topics, however not in this depth over a course of two uninterrupted days. We gained alot of insight about ourselves and our relationship and can’t wait for our marriage.

We had a wonderful weekend.  We can not thank you enough for sharing your experiences with us.  Mike and I had time to talk about some topics we haven’t before and to talk more in depth about other issues..  God Bless You All.
