17-19 May, Marriage Care Retreat in Charleston, SC

Does your marriage need a tune up? Or maybe it’s time for that 100,000 mile overhaul…well the Shaw Chapel team has planned an exciting marriage enrichment retreat for you and your spouse!

 The retreat is designed as a wonderful time away for couples to deepen their marital love and commitment. The schedule is relaxed, with a mix of short talks, thought provoking discussion, and individual couple time. It is suitable for all faiths. Couples across this base have given this retreat a Five Star rating. It is designed as a child-free weekend. We don’t have the location firm at this time, but will have that information out to those who register as soon as we have firm contracts. The retreat is open to active duty members stationed at Shaw AFB, and it is FREE, which includes two nights lodging and four meals. You can register by clicking this link: Marriage Retreat Registration.

For more information, see this MarriageCare frequently asked questions HERE. We are waiving the period of time restriction for those who have attended other retreats and events. In fact we want you to attend this and the Family Resiliency Retreat if you wish. Please go HERE to sign up for the Family Resiliency Retreat. For photos of previous MarriageCare event go HERE.
