1.   What actually happens in a Magnify Your Marriage Latter-day Saint marriage retreat or seminar?  Will I have to share private feelings?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!  You will not be asked to share private feelings at any time! You see, the key to a great Latter-day Saint marriage is not often found by digging into your past. It is important to foster important attitudes and values, try to really understand your spouse, and gain an awareness of the realities of being a Latter-day Saint couple. Yes, being LDS brings to your marriage many uniquely wonderful and challenging things. With some understanding, you can bring even greater joy to your marriage!

In the presentations, each Latter-day Saint couple will be given their own personal workbook, watch demonstrations, and engage in fun discussions about how to deal with TYPICAL issues that confront Latter-day Saint couples. You will come away feeling more excited and energized to make your Latter-day Saint marriage the greatest it can be!

2.   What's the difference between a Latter-day Saint "Overnight Retreat" and a Latter-day Saint "Seminar?"

Occasionally we offer Magnify Your Marriage Full Saturday SEMINARS which include a full day seminar. We have learned that couples overwhelmingly want to make the experience even more "pampering" by spending some time together ALONE the night BEFORE the seminar. Because our Retreats are more popular, most of our Magnify Your Marriage Events offer an OVERNIGHT RETREAT package that actually includes overnight accommodations in the hotel where the presentations will be held. There is always a more economical option to attend the retreat without the overnight stay (but still attending the Friday night AND Saturday presentations).

Whether or not you attend the retreat with or without the overnight stay, you will find it to be rejuvenating, pampering, enjoyable, and enlightening.

3.  My fiance and I are thinking about attending a Latter-day Saint Magnify Your Marriage seminar. Can the information help people who are engaged?

Of course! Magnify Your Marriage retreats and seminars would help you get a great "jump start" on your new marriage.  Dr. Robertson often hears participants comment on how they wish they had known what they learned in the MYM seminars at the very beginning of their marriages. Dr. Robertson is a strong believer in "premarital" training and enrichment. MYM events without the overnight stay have been enjoyed by engaged Latter-day Saint couples with various backgrounds (i.e., recent converts to the LDS Church, formerly divorced, etc.), who have all benefited from the experience. So come and enjoy!

4.  You say that this seminar or retreat is for "Latter-day Saint couples." What if one (or both) of us is NOT LDS (a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)?

"Magnify Your Marriage" presentations have been developed to embrace the Christian teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also commonly known as "LDS" or "Mormon"). Couples who are not LDS are also welcome! Ken Robertson periodically shares quotes from scriptures and modern day prophets (Including the Bible, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine & Covenants). You will NOT be required to join or profess tenants of the LDS faith. Ken & Cindy Robertson do their best to help couples of other faiths feel comfortable. We ask that you be respectful of our faith (if you have questions about our faith, we ask that you speak to us privately during breaks). Feel free to join us... Please let us know if you are not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints so that we can help to make this a more enjoyable and comfortable experience for you.

5.   My spouse and I have had a LOT of problems in the past year. Can this Latter-day Saint marriage retreat or seminar help?

While no marriage retreat or seminar can guarantee results (because YOU must make the effort to improve your marriage), this experience will give you valuable information and the direction you need to make SIGNIFICANT CHANGES in your marriage. Of course, the rest will be up to you.

6.   My spouse and I have not had many problems, but our relationship just seems “Blah.” Can this Latter-day Saint marriage retreat or seminar help?

Of course! You will begin to see what kept the fire and fun of your relationship alive in your past, and how to rekindle it in your present and future. You will leave much closer to your spouse than when you started!

7.   I think my relationship with my spouse is wonderful! Should I still consider your Latter-day Saint marriage retreat or seminar?

Absolutely!  From troublesome to the most happy marriage, isn't it wonderful to take time out to nurture and refine this most important earthly relationship?

Many "happy Latter-day Saint couples" have come to Magnify Your Marriage retreats, and have said that they loved the fun "date-night" experience and left with even more understanding and a deeper gratitude for their spouse.
