Choose Each Other Again and Again

Great marriages don't happen by accident; they grow on purpose


At LIFE, we celebrate marriage and believe every marriage is worth investing in. Together Forever is a faith-filled weekend for married couples designed to help you step out of the everyday, reconnect with each other, and continue building a strong, joyful, and lasting relationship.

Join us for intentional time together, practical wisdom, and encouragement to keep Jesus at the centre of your marriage. No matter how long you've been married or what season of marriage you're in, this weekend is an opportunity to strengthen your connection and keep growing together.

Breakout Sessions

Choose the breakout for where you want to grow

Healthy Boundaries

Healthy relationships thrive with healthy boundaries. Discover how to navigate relationships with extended family, approach finances as a team, and build a marriage marked by trust rather than control. You'll leave with practical tools to navigate tricky conversations and bring greater strength to your relationship. 

Parenting Together

Every family is different, but every family benefits from parents who are growing together. Whether you're in the thick of parenting or preparing for what's ahead, this session is for you. Explore how your different backgrounds and experiences shape your parenting, and learn how to lead your family with greater unity.

It's Business Time

Healthy intimacy is about so much more than sex. In this honest and encouraging session, we'll explore emotional and physical connection, navigating today's digital world, communicating your needs without shame, and growing closer together through every season of marriage.

Spiritual Intimacy

Your relationship with God has the power to strengthen your relationship with each other. Discover practical ways to grow spiritually as a couple, build meaningful rhythms of faith together, and stay connected, even if you're in different seasons of your faith journey.

Communication & Conflict

Strong marriages aren't built by avoiding conflict, but by learning how to navigate it together. Discover practical tools for having difficult conversations, de-escalating conflict before it grows, and repairing your relationship in ways that build greater trust, understanding, and connection.
