Our Weekend Spending MER1

Hubby and I decided to attend the Marriage Enrichment Retreat (MER) 1 of CFC last Friday since we've been waiting for it for two years already. So last weekend we left all our worries at home, left Alex with the Lola and traveled to Tagaytay at around 6:30 AM last Saturday.

It was a very refreshing weekend. The retreat was held at Angels Hills Formation & Retreat Center.


On the way to our room

Although our schedule was a bit tight (we had 6 talks on our first day and 1 talk on our second day), we were still able to manage to digest most of the talks and was able to learn a lot. Hubby and I were able to talk about some issues about our relationship, our family, our home, and more. We also realized that we haven't gone out (just the two of us) for quite sometime now so it was a great opportunity for us to bond again.

There were talks about roles of a Christian husband and wife, how to build a Christian home, and being a team in serving God. Such an eye opener. Sometimes when you tend to do things everyday you thought that you are doing the right thing and when you attend retreats like this, you just realized that you still have more things to improve on especially your relationship with your husband and kids.

Can't wait for the MER2 which will be next September. Hopefully, by that time, our budget and schedules will be fixed again just like what happened last weekend. :)
