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.

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.
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.
