Our Retreats: Ways To Get Involved
Our retreats for married couples provide a unique opportunity to take time out to focus on their relationship. They are not aimed at solving marriage problems, but at creating space for reflection and connection.
Our Retreats: Supporting Marriage Relationships
The primary focus of Connecting Matters is marriage. Marriage is a relationship of deep value, yet the pressures and demands of daily life can gradually diminish the time, attention, and care it receives. Over time, this can leave couples feeling disconnected or stretched thin.
Through our retreats, Connecting Matters seeks to support married couples by creating space to pause, reflect, and refocus on their relationship.
Rather than addressing marriage as a set of problems to be solved, the retreats invite couples to consider the health of their relationship, recognise strengths, and give thoughtful attention to areas that may benefit from care and conversation.

Invite friends to events
Inviting friends to attend a retreat or event is a meaningful way to encourage time, reflection, and care within their marriage.
Attend Our Retreats | Book a Marriage Event
We would be delighted to conduct a marriage event/retreat for a group of couples at your venue. Marriage events include date nights, weekend retreats, a one-day taster, or a time-limited small group. An ideal retreat size consists of a maximum of ten couples. We do not charge for our services, but we request that you donate towards the cost of travel, accommodation, photocopying, etc.
Sponsor a Married Couple
Our retreats and marriage events are open to all married couples. Couples usually pay for their accommodation costs and a fee to cover other costs. We do not wish to exclude anyone, especially those in developing countries who are unable to pay at this point in time. Your sponsorship could lead to a life-changing workshop/retreat for a couple.
Sponsor a Camp
Camps in Sri Lanka consist of bringing young people from differing ethnic groups to the campsite near Chilaw, where they enjoy shared activities and inspiring input from the Connect for Life team.
Your sponsorship of this partner organisation, Connect for Life, would enable young people to attend a camp that they might otherwise be unable to afford.
Support Our Work | Make a Donation
Our resources are offered free of charge because we believe they should be accessible to everyone.
If you feel led to contribute financially, your generosity helps us continue providing these tools, retreats, and services for married couples.
Every gift, big or small, makes a difference. Thank you for partnering with us.
Make a Donation
Connecting Matters exists to support and strengthen marriage relationships through retreats and resources offered freely and without obligation. This reflects our deep commitment to accessibility, ensuring that couples from a wide range of backgrounds and circumstances can engage in this work without financial barriers becoming an obstacle.
When you choose to give, you are not simply funding an event. You are participating in a shared commitment to the value of marriage and the importance of creating space for reflection, connection, and renewal.
Your financial support becomes part of a wider partnership that enables Connecting Matters to continue serving married couples with care, integrity, and purpose.
If this work has been meaningful to you, or if you would like to help make it possible for others, we warmly invite you to consider making a contribution.
