The Retrouvaille  Program consists of a weekend experience combined with a series of six post-weekend sessions over 2 months.  The Diocese of Metuchen offers two such programs a year.  The program provides the tools to help put a marriage in order again.  The main emphasis of the program is on communication in marriage between husband and wife.  It will give a couple the opportunity to rediscover each other and examine their lives together in a new and positive way.
