DISCOVERY WEEKEND

[t_r_i_c_i_a]

^we're both Catholics naman. 😊

[simang]

We're scheduled for DW on August. Baka may maging classmate kami sa inyo :-) Excited na ko. We've been wanting to have a retreat together way back pa.

^sis baka kami mag discovery in August but not sure yet =)

Based on what I've heard with friends who went to DW, it was really helpful nga because you will really learn more about each other.  There are couples nga lang who end up questioning whether they should continue on with marriage or not.  Meron naman iba, tumuloy pa din after DW pero naghiwalay parin after a few years.  Iba iba talaga.  Hopefully the ones who will go will be enlightened.

My fiance and I also went through a similar workshop (though ours was a series of 7 classes and 6 one-on-one sessions with an older couple) and there really is a fall-out rate. I think 1/3 of our batch dropped out after we covered the topic of finances. Anyway, I just wanted to share that just because you discover certain things about your partner that you may not necessarily agree with, there's always the choice to work things out.

hi sis simang paid na kayo for DW in August?

[bagaholic_chewy]

Very important for couples attending DW or any couples retreat to keep an open mind talaga and be honest sa sarili at sa isat-isa. And we should know our non-negotiables and such. And if in case me nadiscover na incompatibilities e pagisipan - kung kaya naman mapagusapan e di keri lang. Pero kung non-nego sa isang party, e mukhang mahirap na yun..

Kaya bumilib din ako sa mga couples who opted to postpone/cancel their weddings (in our DW batch, at least 3 couples ang narerecall ko na ganito), kasi for sure hindi madali ang decision na yun sa kanila. Yung iba kasi, kahit me red flags na, tuloy pa din ang kasal kasi nanghihinayang sa downpayments/reservations fees na naibayad na. Then some would eventually separate din, gumastos pa sa annulment, na-stress pa sa married life.

[msdianne]

Hi everyone...

We'll be attending this JULY. My main concern is lodging talaga so meaning you're not roomie with fiancé? I worry about it. Because I'm not comfortable bunking in with someone. Sad to say.

[sparklingjewel]

^May roomie ka na isang bride na di mo kilala. Im not comfy also parang ang weird naman non.

[meg1104]

Yes, you will be with another girl. Yung partner niya, and partner mo ang roommates naman.

Another option, I think is to ask for your own room, you just have to pay more.

[bagaholic_chewy]

Buti na lang i lived in a dorm sa campus during college, kaya di na ako nanibago na may ka-share sa room. pati itsura and condition ng room parang sa dorm lang din, haha!

But anyway, you'll be spending a few hours lang naman sa room. Basically, after dinner (or pag matutulog ka na) and sa morning lang before breakfast. So keri na yun. We attended sa Fairview venue and sa 2nd night e wala ako roommate (umuwi sila for an emergency) and medyo natakot ako ng slight sa room, hehe.. luma na kasi..

if the discovery weekend is anything like the catholic engaged encounter then you'll hardly notice your roommate...the room is basically just for sleeping and the days are really long...we went to bed at around 11 pm on our first night and nearly 12 midnight on the second one. the rooms are spartan but serve their purpose. i didn't get to know my roommate or anybody else because the weekend is really designed to get couples to focus on each other and their relationship.
