Marriage Enrichment Retreat – June 2026

 Join Connect UMC for our 2026 Marriage Enrichment Retreat—a meaningful opportunity to invest in your relationship. This retreat is designed to equip couples with practical tools to strengthen key areas of marriage, including parenting, financial stewardship, intimacy, faith, roles and responsibilities, leisure, and developing a shared vision for your future together. Your marriage is worth the investment, so we invite you to take this intentional step toward growth, connection, and lasting enrichment.  

This is an adult retreat for married couples, held at the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites in downtown OKC. (Sorry, no children.) In addition to a conference room for the seminar and course material, a block of hotel rooms has been reserved for this retreat. The couples guest room includes single king (or queen) bed, coffee/tea maker, mini fridge, microwave, and complimentary breakfast buffet. Light snacks and beverages will be available during the meetings. There are multiple restaurants and Bricktown entertainment district all within walking distance in the downtown OKC area for a special “date night” together after Friday’s seminare check-in & welcome.

A minimum of seven couples is needed for retreat to move forward. If you are interested, please email pastor Adam Ricks asap (adam@connectumc.org ) to help us confirm anticipated participation.
