Maybe just something to help things run a little more smoothly in married life—or perhaps it feels like a complete overhaul is needed and every day has become a struggle. \nThink about when your car starts making a strange noise. You take it to the mechanic\, and suddenly the sound disappears before you even get there. But marriages are different. Sometimes those little “noises” don’t go away on their own. Just like with a car\, a marriage may only need a small tune-up to get back on track—or it may need more attention. \nWhat is the answer? Retrouvaille! This weekend program offers an opportunity to rediscover why these two people fell in love in the first place. The program allows the couple to reconnect with the most important person in their life\, their spouse\, and to start fresh. \nMany people looking for marriage help are embarrassed and don’t want to seek the help they need. Retrouvaille is a confidential program where the hurting couple never has to share their “dirty laundry.”  They can still learn techniques how to communicate better from people who share their own experiences. \nOnce the couple has completed the weekend\, they are asked to continue to learn the skills necessary to solve conflict by attending additional online classes. These classes are essential to complete the Retrouvaille experience. \nThe program is conducted by volunteers who have had their own marriage challenges and have learned how to overcome them. They now want to help other couples. \nThe next Retrouvaille weekend in the Utica area will be held here at The Good News Center. Participants can register online at HelpOurMarriage.org or by calling 315-736-1869 to speak with Judy Hauck. You may also call with questions if you are uncertain if the program is right for you. \nRemember there is hope. And it is called Retrouvaille.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://thegoodnewscenter.org/event/retrouvaille-weekend-a-lifeline-for-married-couples/ CATEGORIES:Events,Relationship Programs,Spiritual Enrichment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thegoodnewscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/RV-website-logo-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260820T181500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260820T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T171639 CREATED:20251006T233407Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260401T135838Z UID:10000547-1787249700-1787256000@thegoodnewscenter.org SUMMARY:Theology Uncorked DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nTheology Uncorked \nTheology Uncorked is an open\, inviting gathering for the believers\, curious and skeptics alike.
