This past weekend, more than a dozen U.S. military couples gathered in Nemi, Italy, for a marriage enrichment retreat organized by the Archdiocese for the Military Services. Under the guidance of Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the retreat offered couples a unique opportunity to reflect on their marriages amidst the challenges of military life.

The retreat, held at the beautiful Centro 'Ad Gentes,' included prayer, group sessions, and the REFOCCUS Marriage Enrichment Inventory, aimed at enhancing communication and understanding between spouses. Archbishop Broglio emphasized that marriage is not only a sacred bond but also a crucial mission, especially for those serving in the military.
