RETROUVAILLE - 2025

Retrouvaille (pronounced Retro-vie, meaning “Rediscovery” in French) is a lifeline for marriages facing challenges, and its importance in today’s society is more critical than ever.

In a world marked by increasing stress, disconnection, infidelity and the breakdown of family systems, Retrouvaille offers hope, healing, and practical tools for couples facing marital crisis, even those on the verge of separation or divorce. Many relationships today suffer from emotional distance, unresolved conflicts, poor communication, or the silent erosion of intimacy. Retrouvaille addresses these core issues—not through therapy, but through a peer-led, experience-sharing approach that promotes empathy, vulnerability, and renewal.

Unlike conventional counselling, Retrouvaille is run by couples who have themselves struggled and recovered, making the experience authentic and deeply relatable. The program emphasizes communication and forgiveness, helping couples rebuild trust and commitment. It encourages spouses to rediscover each other, not as adversaries but as partners on a shared journey.

As divorce rates rise and the sanctity of marriage is often questioned, Retrouvaille stands as a beacon of restoration, reminding us that brokenness is not the end. In preserving and strengthening marriages, it also fortifies families, which are the foundation of a stable, compassionate society.

Who needs Retrouvaille?

• Has your romance faded?

• Do you argue without reaching resolution?

• Are you more like roommates than soul mates?

• Have you grown apart?

• Is your marriage in crisis?

  
  

Why wait for a better marriage?

Many couples who feel they have "tried everything" often find they’ve repeated the same ineffective patterns. Retrouvaille offers the opportunity for genuine change and improvement in relationships. By investing in each other and moving past hurt, couples can rediscover a positive connection and are able to make a fresh start through the program.

Seeking help for your marriage can be challenging, but it’s a sign of strength. Many counselors recommend Retrouvaille to their clients as a first step in the healing process.

Retrouvaille can help you:

• Rebuild your emotional connection.

• Learn healthy communication methods.
