Keynote Couple
Drs. Bobbye and Britton Wood are nationally recognized leaders in the fields of marriage enrichment and family relationships. Drawing from extensive research and 51 plus years of experience as a married couple, they facilitate marriage enrichment groups in the Fort Worth area and continue to publish practical materials which promote marital health, including Marriage for the Everyday: 365 Conversation Starters Designed to Deepen Couple Relationships. Their newest book, The Marriage Pioneers: Three Timeless Strengths for Today’s Marriages, featuring interviews the Woods conducted with David and Vera Mace, founders of Better Marriages, will be released in late February 2019.
Waco has become a major destination city as the home of HGTV's Fixer Upper show and the Magnolia Market along with Baylor University, the Dr. Pepper Museum, Cameron Park Zoo, the Waco Mammoth National Monument and other attractions.
Accommodations:
Since this year’s Getaway Weekend is being held at the Baylor University’s Garland School of Social Work in downtown Waco, we do not have a contract with a specific hotel for sleeping rooms. There are a number of hotels in the downtown area and others along the I-35 corridor. Those living outside of the Waco area should make their own hotel reservations.
