Orton, Tamise Totterdell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Marriage Enrichment Retreats: Story of a Quaker Project" by David and Vera Mace is a comprehensive account of a Quaker initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of marriages through structured retreats. Written during the late 20th century, this book functions as both a guide and a sociological examination of marital relationships, particularly emphasizing the value of communication and mutual support among couples. The authors, who are experienced marriage counselors, reflect on their decades of work in this field and aim to rekindle the importance of strong marital bonds within the Quaker community. The book details the development and execution of marriage enrichment retreats that encourage couples to engage in profound communication about their relationships. It encompasses various experiences from the retreats, illustrating how couples can explore new depths in their marriages. Through shared activities and discussions, participants confront common challenges and discover paths for growth, emphasizing that even stable marriages often have untapped potential. The Maces advocate for the removal of societal taboos surrounding the sharing of marital experiences, fostering a supportive atmosphere that can lead to deeper connections, greater understanding, and, ultimately, more fulfilling partnerships. Through their compelling narrative, the Maces emphasize that investment in relationships at home is pivotal for broader societal harmony.
