Preparing for Baby

WinShape Retreat - Rome, GA
September 18 - September 20, 2026

Retreat Description

When adding a baby to your family, you and your spouse are experiencing one of the most life-changing seasons you’ll walk through. Most couples create registries and take birthing or parenting classes but forget about the impact a baby will have on their marriage. We want to change that! If you’re first-time expectant parents or have recently welcomed a baby, consider attending Preparing for Baby, a retreat that provides valuable lessons to help you thrive in your marriage even as new parents.

Key Takeaways

  • Strategies for developing a strong support system 
  • Guidelines for establishing healthy boundaries (work, family, friends, etc.) after baby arrives 
  • Keys to working together as a new team 
  • Biblical insights into how to step into your new roles—motherhood and fatherhood 
  • Encouragement from couples who are a bit ahead of you on the parenting journey

Retreat Cost

$750 per couple
Includes all meals, lodging, and programming. Taxes not included.
