At this weekend's CT Retrouvaille's Weekend, we were privileged to have Barbara & Tim Hayden from our neighboring NE Retrouvaille Community as presenters.
Barbara sent us along this article from Real Simple Magazine that features Angie & Greg Cooper from Duluth, Georgia who are Retrouvaille Alumni!
They are also the now coordinators of the Atlanta, Georgia Retrouvaille Community as well!
They are featured in the article along with several other couples who have commited to making their marriages work!
If you click on the link below - you will be brought to the article in which you can find their story - once you read it there is also a small link that will take you to their photos as well as the other couples too!
It sure was great to see Retrouvaille given such good press to get the word out to the mainstream about help for hurting couples!
Thanks for sharing Barb!

Marriage Takes Three
I once thought marriage took
Just two to make a go.
But now I am convinced
It takes the Lord also.
And not one marriage fails
Where Christ is asked to enter.
As lovers come together
With Jesus at the center.
In homes where Christ is first
It's obvious to see,
Those unions really work,
For marriage still takes Three.
~Peter Tanksley~
