Thank you for a wonderful weekend.  Through your guidance we feel that we have deepened our relationship and learned ways in which we may deepen our love in the presence of God.

Thank you so much for showing us your love in your marriage. Its rewarding to see how you both focus your effort on your marriage and continually renew your vows and your love, especially through CEE.

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.

This weekend has blown all of my expectations out of the water.  For me personally, I have a renewed sense of spirituality and I am really excited to enrich it beyond this weekend.  For us as a couple, this experience has really brought things “big picture” and definitely experienced some self discovery on “simmering issues.”  There is not enough space to express the many thanks we have, but please remember your work here is a blessing to all those that attend and please continue to give this gift you have.

We would like to be a prayer couple for a Catholic/non-Catholuc couple like us.  Coming into this weekend Josh had various concerns about pressures to convert or accept God.  We found this experience very helpful and would like to share this with a couple who may have similar concerns.  Thank you for this weekend.
