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.

Dave and Rushia first met on a college campus in Kelowna, BC. During a bus ride Dave knew Rushia was the girl he was going to marry and Rushia knew Dave was the guy she should stay away from. Three years later they were married. Over their 34 years together, they’ve been teachers in Northern Saskatchewan, travelled to 25 countries, parented 5 athletic children, and welcomed in-laws and a granddaughter into the family. Dave leads Athletes in Action nationally and Rushia is the Women’s Pastor for Central Heights church in Abbotsford, BC.
Matt and Josie first met at an A&W restaurant of all places and started the adventure of marriage in 2000. Matt served in various pastoral roles while Josie became a photographer with a few side jobs in the banking and food industries. In 2019 they moved back to BC from Saskatoon and joined FamilyLife Canada where they now serve as Regional Representatives. They live in Kelowna with their two young adult sons and one teenage son, as well as with their cat, Stormie, who lives up to her name. They love connecting with couples and cheering them on in their marriage.
