RASTATT, Germany — The transient military lifestyle, with its frequent deployments and reassignments, can be hard on a marriage. The Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), offers couples support through an ongoing series of marriage enrichment retreats. The latest took place this past weekend in Rastatt, Germany. His Excellency, the Most Reverend Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D., Archbishop for the Military Services, welcomed 20 U.S. Military couples from nine installations throughout Europe. They gathered at the Saint Bernhard Bildungshaus Retreat Center —a site run by the Archdiocese of Freiburg in southwest Germany near the German-French border along the Rhine River.
