Hurting marriages offered help through Retrouvaille program

Retrouvaille, a program for couples living with disappointment and pain in their marriages, makes a return visit to Dubuque April 15-17. Another program is scheduled in Marshalltown for Sept. 16-18.

The program consists of a weekend experience with six short post sessions over the following three months. The main emphasis is to help couples learn to communicate with each other, producing love, forgiveness, and trust. Following each session, couples are given time to discuss how it relates to them. There are no group dynamics.

Couples are asked for donations to cover the cost. No couple will be refused because of financial situations.

Pre-registration is required by calling Dick or Joyce Smith at (800)470-2230 or (563)875-8791 or sending email to smithretro@mwci.net.
