WHAT IS C.O.R.E.?

CORE is an ongoing support group for those serious about making their marriage work. Retrouvaille of Delaware Valley has three CORE locations throughout the region. Because of our marriage problems, many of us isolate ourselves from other married couples. The CORE Communities of Delaware Valley consist of hurting/healing couples who want the support of others to continue their growth and their dialogue experience.

Participation in CORE motivates us to maintain dialogue as a primary communication tool and keeps us involved with other couples who share a common interest in the sacrament of marriage. It also supports our efforts to grow in our marriage and offers opportunities to not only be ministered to; but also minister to others.

All couples are welcome to attend any CORE meeting that is convenient to them.
