Someone once said, "Marriages may be made in heaven, but they sure take a lot of work on earth."

In our society, with the pressures of conflicting demands and too little time, personal relationships are often taken for granted. With all the distractions, we easily forget that strong, caring, loving relationships take work.

Without attention and care, marriages wither. Couples slowly and quietly drift apart or are being torn apart by terrible words and actions. Many are married in name only, or just stay together "for the sake of the kids." For many, it has been ages since they knew the joy of a loving relationship.

When infidelity, alcohol abuse, or drug dependency is involved, the situation may seem even more hopeless.

Retrouvaille is helping couples put the pieces back together and rebuild loving relationships. Retrouvaille, pronounced re·tro·vi, is a French word meaning "rediscovery."

If your marriage is tearing the two of you apart, if there is little or no meaningful communication, if you are considering separation or divorce, we believe Retrouvaille can help you.
