the weekend, however it's not marriage counseling and if your relationship is in trouble there

Does it matter what religion I am?

couples on the topics presented. He can also offer spiritual support from a Catholic perspective, but all

weekend presented by couples of your own faith, you may find a link to a weekend presented by your faith on
the National Website.
