Tobit a Preparation for Marriage: This program enables you to enter into a deeper personal relationship with Christ and have Christ at the center of your marriage. The Tobit Weekend is designed for Christians of all denominations.
The Tobit Weekend was started in 1974 as a marriage preparation program. Over 8,000 couples have participated in it and have found an opportunity to grow in knowledge and love for one an- other. Attending a Tobit Weekend early in your marriage preparation makes the reminder of the preparation more relevant and focused.
The program enables you to enter into a deeper personal relationship with Christ and have Christ at the center of your marriage.
The Tobit Retreat is designed for Christians of all denominations.
A TOBIT WEEKEND IS. . .
 | Looking at commitment |
| Marriage |
| Family life |
| Techniques of communication and negotiation |
| Exploring all important areas for making your marriage work |
| To see how well the two of you complement each other |
| A time to share thoughts, feeling, goals, hopes, fears and dreams with your partner. |
| Time for reflection and prayer both individually and as a couple. |
HOW IS A TOBIT RETREAT UNIQUE?
Tobit asks you to look into your own hearts and lives in order to know and understand yourselves.
Tobit asks whether you are willing to take the time and make the effort to help each other prepare for a lifetime together. The basis for the weekend is the beautiful love story of God guiding Tobias and Sara into a happy marriage. (Book of Tobit in the Hebrew Scriptures.)
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
The presenters consist of a team of Christian married couples and a priest and/or sister. The process consists of:
| A presentation to the group |
| Personal reflection time |
| Partner sharing time |
| Prayer time alone and together |
This offers the opportunity for the two of you to find strength and guidance for your married life in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
You are advised to register 5-6 weeks prior to the weekend. Deadline for registration is 7 days prior to retreat
