Frequently Asked Questions

What Will We Gain by Attending a Thriving Marriages Retreat?

Do we have to talk about our relationship?

Only if you want to talk about it. Some couples talk, while others just listen and learn.

Do children attend?

Children do not attend, but money is available to help with childcare expenses. Call 877-435-8033 for details.

How are you able to offer the events for free?

The events are funded by an Administration for Children and Families grant in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative and Oklahoma State University. Meals are provided and for 2-day events, lodging is also provided. There is absolutely no cost to you to attend.

Many couples report that prior to attending, they had low expectations about the quality of the events, since they are free. Although you may not invest a lot of money, rest assured, for the time you invest, your marriage and family will reap the benefits for years to come.
