Bob and Karen Botte, parishioners of St. Oliver Plunkett Catholic Church in Snellville, Georgia


Bob and Karen Botte are blessed with four children, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. As cradle Catholics raised in loving homes, their own marriage seemed destined for “a lovely magic carpet ride” as Bob describes. Join us as the Bottes share their candid marriage journey and how the practical program “Retrouvaille” has helped them and many other couples rediscover the blessings of marriage and the keys to rebuilding a loving relationship.

Resources

  • The Retrouvaille Program is for married couples facing difficult challenges in their relationship. It’s a Christian marriage program, Catholic in origin, that helps couples of all faiths or no faith background restore their marriage and rebuild a loving relationship. Retrouvaille is primarily a practical program to improve communication, build stronger marriages, and help couples reconnect. Presenters are not trained marriage counselors, but rather couples sharing their personal stories of marital struggles and the tools they used to rediscover their love. For general information about Retrouvaille or additional Retrouvaille events in the United States and internationally, visit www.helpourmarriage.org
