TV chef turns to marriage counseling in Colorado retreat
Graham Kerr, once Galloping Gourmet, and wife Treena relocate to 8000 foot Colorado Rockies valley to open a Christian marriage retreat. They built a cross shaped cottage complex with a chapel, offering weeklong stays for couples at 24 dollars a day. Kerr cites personal redemption from drug use and a changed life as the mission behind this "Christian war against divorce." The couple, who sold their Maryland home, devote three hours daily to building and prayer while shunning television and modern culture as harmful to marriages.
