Married couples from across the Western United States gathered at Terra Sancta for our Becoming One Marriage Retreat. Couples were given the opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and intentionally focus on the fruits of their marriage and to grow closer by inviting Christ in as a center of their life.
