Marriage Enrichment
Whether you’ve been married 6 months or 60 years, it’s a good idea to check the gauges and make sure you are both still headed in the same direction. If your marraige is good, it can be better! If your marriage is in distress, it doesn't have to stay that way.
Our Lady of Bethesda presents a variety of programs that offer practical and spiritual instruction for married couples.
