Did we have any articles they might read? issues and questions facing couples Did we have any advice on what they should do? in significant relationships. This was a new twist. Though we had offered programs for engaged cou Freshman Retreat #22 ples for many years, we had not really thought about this category of cou Friday-Saturday, March 26-27 ple; what should we call them? "Serious but not yet committed?" "Pre St. Joe Hall engaged?"

We were greatly impressed that a couple would so seriously question their Notre Dame Encounter Retreat #56 future as to come to our office for advice. Yet a program for the engaged Friday-Sunday, March 26-28 would not be appropriate for this couple. They were still exploring their Fatima Retreat Center relationship- the decision was not yet made; and the decision might eventually be to not continue the relationship.
