Built Stronger Together Marriage Retreat

Salem Marriage Retreat 2026

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”  – Proverbs 27:17

Marriage is a journey of growth, love, and partnership, and it’s strongest when couples intentionally build one another up. At the Built Stronger Together retreat, couples will explore their unique God-given strengths and discover how their gifts reflect His character and enrich their relationship. Inspired by the wisdom of Proverbs 27:17, this retreat equips couples to strengthen one another in marriage, faith, friendship, and everyday life.

This retreat incorporates the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment to help couples identify their top five strengths while learning to recognize each other’s strengths. If you need access to the book or assessment, please let us know during registration. If you have already taken the assessment, you will be asked to list your top 5 strengths as part of your registration.
We know couples will leave with deeper sense of unity and a renewed sense of purpose as they journey through life together. We’re excited for you to join us!
