Weekend to Remember is for any couple that dreams of a deep and fulfilling relationship with their spouse. Whether you’re engaged, newlyweds, or coming up on your 50th wedding anniversary; whether you can’t keep your hands off of each other or can’t look each other in the eyes; whether you got married in a church or stumbled into one for counseling – we designed Weekend to Remember with you in mind. To be a place you’d feel safe and understood. To give you space to come just as you are and offer hope that you might leave better off than when you came.
Though FamilyLife cares deeply about your family, in order to keep your weekend free of distractions and as a courtesy to other guests, we do not allow children or pets in our sessions, including nursing infants. Only certified service animals are allowed (not emotional support).
They are not included, but guests may receive a discounted room rate if they choose to stay at the getaway hotel. Contact the hotel from your chosen location. Be sure to mention “FamilyLife’s Weekend to Remember” when you make your reservation to receive the special rate (limited availability).

Attendance
No matter where you are in your relationship journey – whether dating, engaged, or married – we encourage you to attend! While we primarily focus our content on married couples, the information shared at Weekend to Remember will help lay the groundwork for your future marriage.
This getaway is a great way to learn the principles of a healthy marriage and get ahead of some of the hardships discussed. There will be a vow renewal at the end of the getaway for couples that are married.
If you know of an engaged couple who would benefit from attending, our gift cards make great wedding gifts!
Yes. Even though your spouse can’t or won’t attend, you will still receive a lot of valuable information you can start applying to your marriage right away.
Though the principles remain the same at each event, there are different speakers, stories, and information that is presented at each one. While we have recently refreshed all of our content, we also want to acknowledge that year to year, you are also a different couple and will gain something different each time you attend.
FamilyLife is dedicated to guiding healthy and struggling marriages through the application of biblical principles. We encourage and welcome anyone to attend our events, but we support God’s design for marriage as set forth in the Bible. This blueprint involves a man and a woman first being committed to loving and serving God, and then committing to loving and serving each other for a lifetime.
Weekend to Remember therefore aligns with our beliefs and does not address LGBTQ+ relationships. If a couple chooses to attend, they are typically comfortable with the biblically based guidance provided, similar to what they may receive in a church.
Disability Accommodations
If you have a disability and require accommodation or would otherwise like to request a specialized service in order to fully participate in this activity, please call 1-800-358-6329, or e-mail us at [email protected]. You will be contacted by someone from our staff to discuss your specific needs. Please give at least a 30-day notice prior to the event so we can properly respond to your request.
Disability accommodations offered by hotels may vary, so please contact the hotel directly for this information.
Service animals are allowed at the WTR conference. Emotional support animals, however, are NOT allowed in the sessions, but if permitted by the hotel, may be kept in your hotel room during the event.
Benefits and Effectiveness
We have thousands of testimonies from couples who have been enriched by attending the Weekend to Remember marriage getaway. Read reviews here.
This is an opportunity for you and your spouse to get away from life’s distractions and talk about things you would not otherwise discuss that are important for relationship development. You will listen to gifted speakers talk about challenges every couple faces, learn time-tested tools to help strengthen your marriage and hear real-life stories from the speakers. Couple’s projects are used to apply the truths in practical ways during and after the weekend.
Other Questions

This is not a counseling session and there aren’t any counselors on-site. However, each one of our volunteers can and would love to pray with you if you’d like.
