Living the adventure of prayer as a couple

Dare to experience conjugal prayer through Ignatian pedagogy.

  • Two days, two nights to discover praying together in the grace of the sacrament of Matrimony.

  • A rich toolbox to help you begin or persevere in prayer as a couple.

  • This retreat weekend, held in an atmosphere of silence, offers concrete, pedagogical, and accessible tools for starting or deepening prayer as a couple.

The retreat leaders

Marie-Anne and Vincent have been leading this retreat for over 10 years. More than a hundred couples have already experienced this retreat and tasted its fruits!

Programme

Program:

Presentations on several forms of concrete conjugal prayer using Ignatian pedagogy:

  • daily prayer as a couple,

  • review of life prayer,

  • prayer over your married life,
