Kohima, July 31 (MExN): The Couples For Christ (CFC) Nagaland conducted a two day long “Marriage Enrichment Retreat 1” from July 29 to 30 at Mount Tabor Retreat House, Kohima.

As the main celebrant for the Holy Eucharist, Rev. Fr. Philip Magh, Director Nagaland Catholic Youth Movement gave special blessing to all the couples who renewed their marriage vows.

Mengukhrietuo Marcus, Cluster Head and State Coordinator CFC Nagaland welcomed the couples and gave introductory/administrative announcements and led the worship.

In response to the need for a better understanding and appreciation of God’s plan for marriage and family life, the Marriage Enrichment Retreat was evolved and is a part of the program of CFC.

For couples to discover more clearly and intimately God’s plan, there is a need to spend time in an atmosphere where God’s word can be studied, understood and meditated on, where couples can have an opportunity to come before the Lord and present themselves as a living oblation, said Marcus.

He said that a time is needed where couples can take stock and assess themselves, their relationship, their family life and their role within the context of God’s plan. Couples need time to know God’s vision and take practical steps in order to attain the goal God is calling them to, he said.

During the programme, talk on Serving God through Christian marriage was shared by Medo-o Mathew, Christian couple as a pastoral team by Buni Dominic, role of a Christian Husband by Mengukhrietuo Marcus, role of a Christian Wife was shared by Veronica, effective communication in marriage by Khriengunuo Catherine, prayer for Healing and Forgiveness was shared by Mengukhrietuo Marcus while ‘Building our homes for God’ was shared by Buni Dominic.
