About the DMR Weekend Experience
On the Diocesan Marriage Renewal Weekend you will find a relaxing atmosphere to work on renewing and revitalizing your marriage.
A Marriage Renewal Weekend is designed for couples who have good marriages not perfect ones and who yearn to work to enhance their marriage.
The Diocesan Marriage Renewal weekend is private, between husband and wife. And all faith expressions are welcomed.
There are short crisp presentations to give you concepts that will form stepping stones for your marriage and exercises to give you, as a couple, time to experience one another in a new and dynamic way.

You will get away from your cares, work, family, long hours, and juggled schedules that get in the way of your time to be a couple. You will have time to get back in touch with one another and discover the beauty that lies within each of you and your relationship. Your love will become vibrant and your communications fine tuned.

DMR Day Experience
About the DMR Day Experience
These experiences are available to be held in parishes and churches throughout the Diocese of St. Augustine. If the priest in your parish is interested in this, please contact us, we will meet with him and plan one for your parish. They are a mini version of the weekend for those that are unable to get away for a weekend. The follow-up sessions will be an opportunity for couples making this day experience to come to understand the concepts and live them out in their lives. It is also an opportunity to get together with others that have the same values.
DMR Day Experience Schedule
The Day Experience will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. Couples attending them in a Catholic Parish will be invited to attend the Saturday afternoon Mass to finish the day.
