As a trained and accredited Leader Couple, Noeline and Paul have led many marriage enrichment retreats, events and workshops across NSW and in New Zealand, including at conferences. They have served as Chair Couple of CMEA for two terms and on the organizing committee for several terms.  Noeline and Paul are currently the Leader Couple Coordinators for Better Marriages Australia (NSW).  In 2013, they had the privilege of attending the Better Marriages International Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.

Noeline and Paul celebrated 50 years married this year and began their own journey in marriage enrichment 44 years ago when invited to a weekend retreat by a couple they knew in their church.“For a young couple, with a small child, and still in the early years of our marriage, the initial attraction of the weekend was the opportunity for some time away together.  It turned out to be so much more, as the experiences shared and the skills introduced to us, opened up new possibilities for developing, and nurturing our marriage which has enabled us to continue to grow as individuals and as a couple.  This experience then led us into training as a Leader Couple and has enabled us to have the privilege of sharing these skills, and our marriage experience, with many couples over the years and facilitating their development of skills based on the Better Marriages Companionship Marriage Model.”

 

We would love to share this experience with you and your spouse, of a weekend retreat in the beautiful surroundings overlooking Lake Burrandong, along with other couples who value their marriage and want to grow even more together.
