Marriage Intensives (One-Two-and Three-Day)

How is the Marriage Intensive different from a counseling program?

Our Marriage Intensive is unique because it focuses on building practical relational skills that provide a framework for you to improve your ability to communicate and resolve conflict. We help you create the environment for understanding and win-win solutions, leading to greater intimacy and connection.

We have a spiritually-based model of working with couples. Our focus of honoring the dynamics of the individual and couple help inform our approach.

If your focus is growth and change, you will not be disappointed. We take the research and development of what works with couples and apply it to your specific needs. The difference we offer is that you have a one-on-one with a counselor who knows how successful relationships work and will teach you how to apply what we know to your situation.

Experience a profound change

No matter what state your marriage is in, our intensives will make a profound impact on your marriage. Couples who are stressed will learn why they are stressed and actually be able to significantly increase their marital satisfaction through learning practical and applicable relationship skills like conflict resolution, communication, forgiveness, and more!

What is the intensive like?

An intensive is time away from everyday distractions and a concentrated effort to build strong relational skills. You will learn why couples divorce and what you can do to prevent your marriage from being another disappointment or failure. With understanding and compassion our marriage consultants lead you down a path where healing and growth occur. Our goal isn't to place blame but to help you create an environment for change and "best case scenarios" in your marriage.

There are no awkward exercises during the intensive, but rather focused and individualized help to move you forward in love and harmony. The time is flexible, yet purposeful. You will learn specific key concepts that are proven to revitalize even the most stressed and wounded couples.
