A New Beginning, Marriage Intensive Retreat, October 3-5, 2017 Indianapolis
Thirty-three couples attended our New Beginning retreats in Houston and Indianapolis in October. Twenty-nine of these couples experienced reconciliation in their relationships and recommitted to their marriage.
Here are some of the AMAZING testimonies of marriage transformations that couples shared with us and gave us permission to share with you: |
 “…with man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

“My spouse and I were ready for a divorce, we had separated and were preparing to file. This weekend restored our hope, opened our eyes and made us realize what we were doing wrong and what to do to get it right.”
Chance, Lead Inspector, married 5 years “My husband and I argued all the time. There was a great deal of anger and resentment in our marriage from the past. On top of that, there was a lot of stress. The weekend helped me identify things that I was doing which were wrong. The retreat also helped me forgive my spouse for things I was holding on to. I also realized that I had also hurt him and that he was in just as much pain as I was. For the first time in 15 years, I heard my husband be sincere and watched him take the steps to lead our marriage and family. This is truly our new beginning!”
Amanda, Self employed HVAC, married 10 years ” I had a very difficult time validating…
my wife’s feelings because I would always focus on facts, reasoning or why she shouldn’t feel that way. This was driving my wife away and she would shut down emotionally. The tools we got will assist me in validating my wife’s feelings, appreciating her and making our marriage work.”
US Navy, married 2 years “For years we’ve had a hard time communicating. We had built up so much hurt and resentment- but now it’s gone and we have a new beginning. And we have the tools we need to keep our new marriage strong and loving-through God!”
Chelsea, homemaker, married 23 years “We had talked about separation before the retreat. Now, we have recommitted to our marriage and we’re going to use the tools we learned to make it last.”
Kyle, Police Officer, married 25 years “The week before the retreat I had reached my breaking point and moved out. We were miserable and fighting most of the time. Our faith was almost nonexistent and our marriage had become a low priority. The miracles that occurred not only in our marriage, but also in our relationship with God are life-changing! I am so thankful to cornerstone for helping to renew and change our marriage.”
Tiffany, homemaker, married 2 years “We were living in two different locations…
and only communicating by text and email. I had the divorce papers in my suitcase, with a court date in 3 weeks. The children had already chosen sides. There was constant arguing, no peace and very little love in our home. Now we can smile at each other and my wife said she’s going to take a leap of faith and dismiss the divorce!”
Rob, Chiropractor, married 29 years “I was able to “let go and let God.” Allowing God to speak to me showed me my true weaknesses and areas of my life that not only could damage my marriage, but also my ministry. I have a renewed sense of direction for my marriage.”
Terry, Pastor, married 2 years “We had some serious issues…
due to blended families, baggage from first marriages and financial instability. However, our biggest issue was lack of proper communication. The weekend moved us ” light years” ahead in the areas of communication and resolving past hurts. We received a considerable scholarship from Cornerstone Ministries to be here. Their generosity went to good use. Thank you!”
Heather, teacher, married 2 years “We were able to air our issues in a safe manner. Igot to know my wife again and found out that underneath all that hurt is the same beautiful girl I married. I am learning the skills to build the marriage I always wanted.”
Mark, Sales, married 30 years ” “We were on the verge of getting a divorce because we were not seeing eye to eye. We were separated for 2 1/2 years and we both had said and did things we regret. God brought us back together again.”
