Would you like to become a Mentor Couple?
Two of our most important goals in Retrouvaille are helping hurting couples and developing our TCR community. Here is a chance to do both!
TCR is starting a Mentor Couple program similar to efforts in other successful communities.

What is a Mentor Couple?
Mentors are TCR couples who have been through a weekend and the Post sessions. They connect with new Friday night couples to provide a supportive link to TCR and its programs.
What are the qualifications?
If you have been in Retrouvaille for a year and want to help other couples, you qualify! Being good listeners and working well together as a couple are particularly helpful.
What will Mentor Couples actually do?
The Friday night couple you are helping will receive your contact information and a short bio. They will be expecting a text from you in the week following their weekend to set up a call. This is a chance for them to stay connected to another couple who has shared their weekend experience. As with all Retrouvaille, this is not therapy, but a listening ear and an open heart.
How do I find out more?
Contact Eric & Char Anderson at TCRFinance@tcr-mn.org.

Marriage Prayer
Building Trust
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today asking for Your guidance and strength in our marriage. We know that trust is essential for a strong and healthy relationship, and so we pray for Your help in building and maintaining this area of our lives.
We pray for the courage and wisdom to communicate openly and honestly with one another, even when it’s hard. Help us to be vulnerable with each other, and to support and encourage one another in all that we do.
We pray that You would give us the strength to forgive one another when we make mistakes, and to work together to resolve any issues that may arise. Lord, we pray that You would help us to be patient with each other, and to always choose love and understanding over anger or resentment.
Thank You for the gift of our marriage, and for the opportunity to grow and learn together. We trust in You, Lord, and know that with Your help, our marriage will be strong and full of love and joy.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Bible Verse to Ponder:
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
– 1 Corinthians 13:6, NIV

Book Drive for FNCs
Do you have books that helped heal your marriage? Would you be willing to donate them to other couples who need help with their marriage?
Bring any books you would like to donate to the Best Western Dakota Ridge in Eagan during a Retrouvaille weekend or to any Post Session.

Patron Saint of Retrouvaille - St. Joseph
O blessed Joseph, faithful guardian of my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, protector of thy chaste spouse, the virgin Mother of God, I choose thee this day to be my special patron and advocate and I firmly resolve to honor thee all the days of my life. Therefore I humbly beseech thee to receive me as thy client, to instruct me in every doubt, to comfort me in every affliction, to obtain for me and for all the knowledge and love of the Heart of Jesus, and finally to defend and protect me at the hour of my death. Amen
'I know by experience, ' says St. Teresa of Avila, 'that the glorious St. Joseph assists us generally in all necessities. I never asked him for anything which he did not obtain for me.
