Getting a happy result from your Intensive Marriage Retreat has little to do with the severity of a couple’s issues. A happy result has much more to do with each couple’s commitment to be open to trying things a new way. After all, if the ‘old’ way had worked, it would have worked by now.
The next key factor in getting a happy result is your Counselor. Both their skill level, their experience and the last, and most important thing about your Counselor – is their heart. We do not blame or judge any of our precious couples – no matter what they may have done in the past. Feeling loved and accepted by your Counselor is foundational in creating an atmosphere of safety and trust.
Expect a miracle, because that’s what we witness regularly!
A private Intensive Marriage Retreat allows enough time for each spouse to feel really heard and understood.
The third reason why we have a 93% success rate is that we incorporate the most effective counseling method to date. Duke University states that Solution Oriented Counseling (SOC) has the highest success rate of all counseling methods. That is for both individual and couple counseling. One hour a week of counseling has only a 7% success rate.
An Intensive Marriage Retreat is an intervention where couples come for 3, 4 or 5 days in a row. An Intensive Marriage Retreat is for couples who need highly skilled help ASAP! Its a down-in-the-trenches event aimed at completely restoring your relationship. It’s completely private with just you, your spouse, and your Counselor.
Even though our Intensive Marriage Retreats are Christian based, we gladly accept people of all faiths, even those with no particular faith. We promise not to beat you over the head with the Bible!
