The Sabbath Retreat Kit

One night away, kept holy.

The Sabbath Retreat Kit is a guided one-night Christian marriage retreat for couples who spend much of the year serving everyone else. It gives you a complete structure for stepping away, resting, remembering, praying, and choosing the year ahead together.

The kit guides you through a simple Friday-to-Sunday rhythm:

1. Arrive: Begin with a candle-lit liturgy, hand off responsibilities, and put phones away.
2. Rest: Slow down without guilt and reconnect before beginning deeper reflection.
3. Remember: Look back on the year you have lived, including what strengthened or strained your marriage.
4. Discern: Complete a marriage examen and name what needs attention, space, healing, or celebration.
5. Renew: Choose up to three commitments, share a feast, bless one another, and write sealed letters for next year.
