Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference – Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
Feb 26 - Feb 28, 2027
What is a Weekend Getaway?
The Weekend Getaway is a marriage conference uniquely designed to enrich your relationship. For most couples it’s a chance to reconnect, re-establish the foundation and rekindle romance. For others, it’s a fresh start. For some, it will be the weekend that saves a marriage.
Wherever you’re at in your relationship, this retreat is a weekend to remember. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm, even fun. You’ll hear from real couples doing real life together… God’s way. You’ll be given time to process what you’re learning, just between the two of you (there’s no group sharing expected). And together, you’ll make a plan for a marriage that lasts a lifetime.

Speakers
Randy & Donna Carter
Randy and Donna married so young in 1981 that they practically raised each other. Or rather, they tried. After 7 years of marriage, Donna was convinced of the futility of raising Randy and had their first daughter followed by another in 1992. Randy began his career in business but went into youth ministry in 1983. Today he’s a youth ministry consultant and speaker. Donna practiced Interior Design until the success of her first book propelled her into a career as a speaker and podcaster/radio host. They began speaking with FamilyLife in 2015 and love sharing their experiences and the stage together.
Che & Shireen Spencer
Che and Shireen married in 2003 with great expectations of a life of fun and adventure! Life has certainly been an adventure, although not always fun! Che is in the film and television industry and Shireen is a pastor, teacher and business owner. They have been involved in marriage ministry since 2006 in the local church and with FamilyLife Canada since 2018. Che loves the water and the snow and anything outdoors. Shireen prefers instead to visit with friends, or lose herself in a good book or some great music. While in Jamaica this year, they both ziplined for the first, and the very last time! They stay busy trying to keep up with their two boys who are active in sports and music.
