Conversations become centered on responsibilities, quality time gives way to competing priorities, and the simple joys of friendship and companionship can gradually take a back seat<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"3,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-150\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"><span data-path-to-node=\"4,0\">Often, it is not that couples stop loving each other<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"4,2\">. Rather, in the pursuit of providing for and nurturing everyone else, they forget to nurture the bond between themselves<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"4,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-151\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"><span data-path-to-node=\"5,0\">Yet, at the heart of a thriving family is a relationship that also needs attention, care and renewal<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"5,2\">. Before the children, the responsibilities and the many roles that come with family life, there were two people who chose each other<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"5,4\">. That relationship deserves to be continually rediscovered and strengthened<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"5,6\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-152\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"><span data-path-to-node=\"6,0\">It was against this backdrop that 23 couples gathered at Ridge Cabin Hotel in Tigoni on Saturday, 3 October, for Escape With Me, a couples&#8217; retreat themed &#8220;The Two of Us Before All of Us.&#8221;<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"6,2\"> The retreat offered a rare opportunity to step away from everyday routines, reconnect as partners and reflect on what it takes to build and sustain a fulfilling marriage<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"6,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-153\" data-path-to-node=\"7\"><span data-path-to-node=\"7,0\">Set against the scenic, tranquil surroundings of Tigoni, the retreat provided a welcome change of pace<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"7,2\">. The couples began their morning enjoying tea in the garden, taking in the refreshing views and warm sunshine<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"7,4\">. The relaxed atmosphere set the tone for a day devoted not to work, children or household responsibilities, but to each other<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"7,6\">. Inside the retreat venue, thoughtful personal touches, including fresh flowers and photographs of each couple, reinforced a simple but meaningful message: for this one day, their relationship was the priority<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"7,8\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"8\">Rediscovering What Makes Each Relationship Unique<\/h3>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-154\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"><span data-path-to-node=\"9,0\">One of the central lessons of the retreat was that no two marriages are alike<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"9,2\">. Each relationship is shaped by the personalities, experiences, values and everyday choices of the two people within it<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"9,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-155\" data-path-to-node=\"10\"><span data-path-to-node=\"10,0\">Guided by Mr. and Mrs. Mundia, the couples explored two key themes: The DNA of Relationships and The Seven Principles of Marriage<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"10,2\">. Through carefully curated questions, partners were encouraged to engage in honest, sometimes difficult conversations about their relationships<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"10,4\">. These were the kinds of conversations that can easily be postponed amid the pressures of everyday life<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"10,6\">. What is working well in our marriage? Where have we grown apart? How can we better understand and support each other?<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-156\" data-path-to-node=\"11\"><span data-path-to-node=\"11,0\">The couples first reflected privately before coming together to share perspectives and learn from one another&#8217;s experiences<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"11,2\">. This created an opportunity not only for personal reflection but also for recognising that, while every marriage is unique, many couples navigate similar challenges<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"11,4\">. One couple offered a particularly insightful interpretation of the DNA of Relationships<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"11,6\">. Drawing a parallel with biological DNA, which carries the characteristics that make each person unique, they observed that every marriage has its own distinctive qualities<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"11,8\">. Just as no two individuals have identical experiences and characteristics, no two marriages follow exactly the same journey<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"11,10\">. Their reflection carried an important lesson: couples should resist the temptation to compare their relationship with others<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"11,12\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-157\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"><span data-path-to-node=\"12,0\">Every marriage has its own strengths, challenges and opportunities for growth<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"12,2\">. What matters is understanding and nurturing the unique bond that two people share, rather than measuring it against someone else&#8217;s experience<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"12,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"13\">Friendship: The Foundation That Holds a Marriage Together<\/h3>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-158\" data-path-to-node=\"14\"><span data-path-to-node=\"14,0\">If there was one lesson that stood out from the conversations on sustaining a marriage, it was the importance of friendship<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"14,2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-159\" data-path-to-node=\"15\"><span data-path-to-node=\"15,0\">Drawing from their own 24 years of marriage, Mr and Mrs Mundia emphasised that beyond the roles and responsibilities of being husband and wife, couples must never lose sight of the friendship that brought them together<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"15,2\">. Their message was both simple and profound: before becoming life partners, couples must remain friends<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"15,4\">. Friendship creates room for trust, laughter, companionship and mutual support<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"15,6\">. It allows couples to enjoy each other&#8217;s company beyond the obligations of parenthood and home management<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"15,8\">. More importantly, it provides a foundation to lean on during difficult seasons in marriage<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"15,10\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-160\" data-path-to-node=\"16\"><span data-path-to-node=\"16,0\">This reflection brought the retreat&#8217;s central theme into sharper focus<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"16,2\">. In the quest to become good parents, providers and caregivers, couples can unintentionally neglect their identity as friends and partners<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"16,4\">. The challenge, therefore, is to remain intentional about cultivating friendship: making time for meaningful conversations, sharing experiences, showing appreciation and finding joy in one another&#8217;s company<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"16,6\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"17\">Love Begins With Personal Growth<\/h3>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-161\" data-path-to-node=\"18\"><span data-path-to-node=\"18,0\">Another important dimension of the retreat emerged during a session on Married Love, facilitated by Fr. Bernard Nderito<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"18,2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-162\" data-path-to-node=\"19\"><span data-path-to-node=\"19,0\">His reflection invited participants to consider an often-overlooked aspect of marriage: the relationship one has with oneself<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"19,2\">. He challenged the couples to look inward, recognise their individual strengths and shortcomings, and embrace personal growth as an essential part of building a healthy marriage<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"19,4\">. He emphasized the importance of self-awareness and personal responsibility<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"19,6\">. A fulfilling marriage is not simply about what one expects from a spouse, but also about what each partner brings into the relationship<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"19,8\">. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, Fr. Bernard reminded participants that love is patient, kind, and enduring<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"19,10\">. These qualities must go beyond words and be reflected in everyday actions because lasting love is not sustained by feelings alone, but by the daily choices couples make to extend patience, kindness, forgiveness and understanding to each other<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"19,12\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"20\">Finding Joy in the Little Moments<\/h3>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-163\" data-path-to-node=\"21\"><span data-path-to-node=\"21,0\">While the retreat created space for deep reflection and meaningful conversations, it also reminded couples of something equally important: marriage should have room for fun<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"21,2\">. Interactive activities brought moments of laughter, playfulness and friendly competition, allowing participants to connect in a more relaxed way<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"21,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-164\" data-path-to-node=\"22\"><span data-path-to-node=\"22,0\">In one activity, couples were challenged to dance together while standing on a sheet of newspaper that became progressively smaller<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"22,2\">. As the space shrank, partners had to find creative ways to maintain their balance without stepping outside the paper<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"22,4\">. What began as a light-hearted game became a practical illustration of teamwork, adaptability and the importance of supporting each other through changing circumstances<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"22,6\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-165\" data-path-to-node=\"23\"><span data-path-to-node=\"23,0\">Another activity, in which couples identified which partner best matched different descriptions, playfully tested how well they knew each other<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"23,2\">. The responses sparked laughter while encouraging participants to reflect on their understanding of one another<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"23,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-166\" data-path-to-node=\"24\"><span data-path-to-node=\"24,0\">Beyond the entertainment, these activities carried lessons that echoed the day&#8217;s discussions<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"24,2\">. Marriage requires cooperation, flexibility and a willingness to face challenges together<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"24,4\">. It also thrives on humour, shared experiences and the ability to find happiness in simple moments<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"24,6\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"25\">Making Room for the Two of Us<\/h3>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-167\" data-path-to-node=\"26\"><span data-path-to-node=\"26,0\">As the retreat drew to a close, the message of Escape With Me was clear: strong marriages do not happen by chance<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"26,2\">. They require deliberate effort, continuous learning and a shared commitment to growing together<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"26,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-168\" data-path-to-node=\"27\"><span data-path-to-node=\"27,0\">For the 23 couples, the day offered more than an escape from routine<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"27,2\">. It created space to rediscover one another, engage in conversations that often go unspoken and reflect on the habits that can strengthen their relationships<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"27,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-169\" data-path-to-node=\"28\"><span data-path-to-node=\"28,0\">The lessons were both practical and deeply personal: celebrate what makes your relationship unique, nurture the friendship at its core, take responsibility for personal growth and never underestimate the power of shared laughter and quality time<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"28,2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-170\" data-path-to-node=\"29\"><span data-path-to-node=\"29,0\">But perhaps the most important lesson was that couples do not have to wait for a retreat or a special occasion to reconnect<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"29,2\">. The opportunity to strengthen a marriage exists in everyday moments: an uninterrupted conversation, a thoughtful gesture, a shared laugh or simply choosing to spend time together<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"29,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-171\" data-path-to-node=\"30\"><span data-path-to-node=\"30,0\">Family life will always come with competing demands<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"30,2\">. Children will need attention, careers will require commitment, and responsibilities will continue to grow<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"30,4\">. Yet, amid it all, the relationship between husband and wife must not become an afterthought<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"30,6\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-172\" data-path-to-node=\"31\"><span data-path-to-node=\"31,0\">When all is said and done, the invitation to every couple is simple: Make time for each other, not only when everything else has been taken care of, but also as an essential part of caring for your family<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"31,2\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p-rc_d59fce8bcdb3ae25-173\" data-path-to-node=\"32\"><span data-path-to-node=\"32,0\">Because before there was all of us, there was the two of us<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"32,2\">. And nurturing that bond is one of the most meaningful investments a couple can make in their family&#8217;s future<\/span><span data-path-to-node=\"32,4\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"32\"><strong>Article by Program for Family Development Communications Team<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":51726,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[289],"class_list":["post-51724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-pfd-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.2.1 (Yoast SEO v28.7) -
