FAQ​​

​

1.  Are food and lodging included in the ticket price?

Great question -- no, food and lodging are not included. Your ticket provides access to all conference sessions. If you and your spouse are interested in staying overnight in or near Shepherdsville, we've listed several nearby hotel options above for your convenience. 

​

2.  We're engaged; can we still attend even though we're not yet married?  

Absolutely! Engaged couples are welcome and encouraged to attend. This conference is designed to equip both married and engaged couples with spiritual principles and practical tools for building a strong, Christ-centered relationship. 

​

3. My spouse is unable or unwilling to attend, but I would still like to come. Can I participate on my own? 

Because this conference is intentionally designed for couples to experience together, individual attendance is not permitted. We ask that both spouses be present.

​

4.  My spouse can attend part of the conference, but not all of it. Can we still register? Due to the structure and flow of the event, both spouses must be present for the full duration of the conference. Partial attendance is not allowed. 

 

​5.  Can I bring my children? Please arrange childcare prior to the event, as children are not permitted and no onsite childcare will be provided. We encourage you to enjoy this time away together, focused solely on your marriage.
