A fall retreat focused on studying the Bible together allows you to discover new ways to apply biblical teachings to your relationship. Whether you’re new to studying the Bible together or have been doing it for years, dedicating intentional time to explore God’s Word will strengthen your spiritual foundation. Choose a book of the Bible or a specific theme to study during your retreat. For example, you might study the concept of love and marriage, focusing on passages such as Ephesians 5:25 (“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,”) or Proverbs 31:10 (“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.”). These verses can spark meaningful discussions about your roles in the relationship and how you can better share God’s love with each other. Set aside quiet times for personal reflection and journaling on what the Holy Spirit is revealing to you as you study. Then, come together to share your insights, discuss the challenges you’re facing, and pray for God’s guidance as you seek to grow spiritually. As you study, remember the wisdom of 2 Timothy 3:16-17: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” You can also incorporate Scripture memorization by praying Scripture over each other and finding creative ways to apply the Bible’s teachings to your everyday lives. By the end of your retreat, you’ll have not only deepened your understanding of God’s Word but also strengthened your bond as spiritual partners.
In conclusion, a fall retreat for couples is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and refocus on what truly matters: your relationship with God and each other. These experiences can deepen your spiritual bond and renew your commitment to walk together in faith. As Ecclesiastes 4:12 reminds you: “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” This fall, you can find rest, renewal, and reconnection as you seek God’s presence together!
