YMM 2007 Winter Retreat Recap
Tuesday, February 6th, 2007For those of you who missed the retreat I must say that you missed a lot!! Because of that I put together a recap of the weekend with the hope that all the couples within YMM will listen and grow their marriages. You can listen to all or part of the weekend at your own leisure. Where possible, we’ve included discussion questions and visuals.

Questions to discuss with your spouse:
- Review the beginning of your relationship. How did you meet? What were your first impressions of each other? How did you grow to fall in love and decide to marry?
- Are the reasons that you decided to marry still evident and a part of your relationship today?
- What have you learned about each other since marrying that you like or admire about each other?
- What have you learned about each other since marrying that you don’t like or admire about each other?
- What do you consider to be the strengths of your marriage?
- What do you consider to be the weaknesses of your marriage?
- How can the weaknesses be turned to strengths?
Session 2: Saturday Morning
We separated into groups (men and women) and were tasked to create a list of what we thought was romantic and then what we thought the other group thought was romantic.
