Without attention and care, marriages wither.   Couples that once thought they could live on love, slowly and quietly drift apart or find themselves being torn apart by terrible words and actions.     Many are married in name only, or just stay together "for the sake of the kids."    If this sounds like your marriage, "RETROUVAILLE" can help.    This program, which was initiated at the request of His Holiness, Pope John Paul II, is designed to provide the communication tools needed to put suffering, troubled marriages back together.   All it usually takes if the couple is willing, is this weekend with five scheduled follow-up talks.   

For confidential information or to register, please call 800 - 470 - 2230 as soon as possible to begin the registration process.
