Beloved Marriage Retreat:
Lessons from Scripture for Marriage
OCTOBER 23–25, 2026
AUGUSTINE INSTITUTE | FLORISSANT, MO
Love desires unity. Draw closer to scripture, closer to God, and closer together.
Over the course of three days on the serene campus of the Augustine Institute, you and your spouse will journey through the Bible—and toward Christ—with figures from the Old and New Testaments, discovering the refreshing waters of scriptural wisdom that will nourish your marriage from here to eternity.
Come talk, listen, pray, and grow. Renew your commitment to your beloved and to Christ. There is always room for a greater love.
Speakers

Julia and Christopher Mooney, Ph.D.

Simone and Scott Hefelfinger, Ph.D.
What to Expect

Over three inspiring days, you’ll find yourselves reinvigorated and renewed, with time to talk, to pray, to listen, and to grow.
