This time is designed to leave you feeling refreshed and equipped as a couple.

This conference time will include three sessions with a few casual games, some table discussion, and teaching. In addition to the sessions, each couple will have Saturday morning to rest and relax at the Luminary Hotel & Co. or explore downtown Fort Myers. Take this time to enjoy your spouse as you reflect and discuss the content to enhance your marriage.
