"Thank you for your extravagant love. We were so blessed. Lots of take away and reminders."
"The Marriage Experience is a great way to spend time with your spouse, meet other couples, and learn about ways you can improve your relationship even if things are going great in your marriage."
"My Fiance and I attended this retreat before we got married and absolutely loved it. It started conversations that we never would have been able to start on our own in such a healthy way. We were also able to tell each other what we needed from the other in order to improve our communication, and our overall relationship with each other and God. I would highly recommend this retreat to all premarried and married couples!"
"My husband and I have been married for 54 years and still learned things at the Marriage Experience to help us grow! We had such a fun time with the activities and the interaction with other couples. Our evening under the stars with the Bistro tables and catered, delicious meal was unbeatable and worth the whole price of the event! We had a memorable time that I hope many others will have the opportunity to experience as well! Thank you The House Experience Team!!"
