Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference – Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC
Apr 9 - Apr 11, 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
Emile & Dominique Massenat
Emile and Dominique will have the pleasure of leading an optional session offered exclusively in French. They have been married for 16 years and live in Ottawa with their two sons (Gabriel, 8, and Timothée, 6). Both are actively involved in their Francophone church’s young adults ministry. They strongly believe that marriage flourishes when God is at the center of the relationship. They continually seek to live in partnership for God’s glory, and it is a true privilege for them to support couples in fully enjoying their union.
Nancy Collette & Benoit Laprade
Nancy Collette and Benoit Laprade will facilitate an optional session offered exclusively in French. Nancy and Benoit have been married for 30 years and have two daughters, Frédérique and Elisabeth. Together, they lead the couples ministry at Église Nouvelle Vie. They are passionate about helping couples embrace the life God is calling them to live—a life of abundance and joy. Drawing on their life experience and leadership, they communicate hope to couples and equip them to navigate the various challenges of life together.
Daniel Rodrigue & Maryse Gaudet-Lebrun
Married since 2013 and parents of four children, Daniel and Maryse have been involved for more than ten years in various care and support ministries. Motivated by a desire to live fully for God and to use their gifts and talents in His service, they founded Main dans la main, a Christian sexology support ministry. Their mission is to walk alongside Christian couples so they may discover and experience the inheritance God has planned for their marriage: a flourishing emotional and sexual intimacy rooted in His grace.
