COVENANT, LIVED INTENTIONALLY
CONNECTION
Intentional moments designed to help couples slow down, reconnect, and be fully present with one another—away from distraction and everyday demands.
Guided conversations
Shared reflection and listening
Space to be together with purpose
Because strong marriages are built in moments of intentional presence.
COMMUNITY
Marriage is strengthened in the presence of others walking a similar path. This retreat creates space to gather, learn, and grow alongside couples who share a desire for intentional love and faith-centered growth.
Group sessions and discussions
Shared meals and experiences
Meaningful connection with other couples
You’re reminded that you’re not walking this journey alone.
RENEWAL
Through thoughtful teaching, prayer, and moments shaped by the leading of the Holy Spirit, couples are invited into renewal that extends beyond the weekend and into everyday life.
Faith-centered teaching
Guided spiritual reflection
Practical tools for continued growth
So what begins here can continue long after the weekend ends.
A Message from Our Retreat Hosts, Robert & Nikkie
After experiencing God’s faithfulness in our own marriage, we felt called to share that blessing with others. This calling led us to launch Purposed in Him Outreach Ministries, a ministry dedicated to spreading the Gospel and serving our community.
Rooted in the mission of Purposed in Him Outreach Ministries, Lead in Love exists to strengthen marriages while advancing the Gospel and serving our community.
