Developing and sustaining a healthy, happy marriage requires at least three tasks:

Fortunately these three tasks are teachable. Christian marriage retreats have proven effective in helping couples achieve success in these areas. Yet, there are many husbands and wives who go their entire lives without ever realizing this.

Like many, they never learn how to overcome the unproductive attitudes and unhealthy behaviors within themselves that lead to mediocre relationships and unhealthy marriages. Many know they want something different in their marriage, but just don’t know what it is, whether or not it’s achievable, and if so – HOW to go about achieving it.

Different Help for Different Problems

If you’re asking yourself, “Is my marriage broken?” it’s important to recognize that marital problems can manifest in various forms, ranging from minor disagreements to serious conflicts and even crisis-level issues. Each situation requires a unique approach to effectively rescue and heal your relationship.

Here at Cornerstone, caring, Christian professional help is available for most types and levels of marital problems. Regardless of what kinds of problems a couple may be having, help is available for all – whether it’s to tune-up a good marriage or restore a struggling marriage. Even the most seemingly hopeless of situations can be turned around for the better. To understand how wide-ranging marital difficulties can be, let’s look at Jan & David’s marital situation.

David and Jan have been married for 12 years and have 3 children. They sometimes disagree about how to discipline their kids. They also find themselves arguing more frequently about finances and aren’t communicating like they used to. Date nights have been waning lately and have been few and far between. They used to enjoy being together and having fun whenever they had time to be together. But with all the demands of children and finances, they were spending less time together

They recently came to the realization that they need to refresh their marriage. After examining several options, some of which were very costly, they decided to talk to their Pastor about what might be some good options. After the “A New Beginning” Retreat they began to find success implementing the tools they had utilized and developed while in the “A New Beginning” Weekend and the 4-week follow-up program.

“This weekend brought clarity to the problems that drove a wedge between my husband and I. It allowed us to be vulnerable regarding our issues in a safe space, and gave us the tools to work through our issues in the future. It restored a sense of hope in our marriage, which was not expected, as our divorce papers were already filed.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Marriage Intensive Weekend?

A Marriage Intensive Weekend is designed to help couples who are struggling in their marriage. It is a closely guided, step by step approach. Participants will reconnect emotionally, heal many old hurts and learn how to resolve conflicts. It is experiential, unlike a seminar where it is just knowledge; you actually do the work over the weekend to begin to repair your relationship. This intensive Christian retreat for married couples is a combination of relationship training and structured exercises and projects. We meet as a group but there is no sharing between couples. Your sharing is private between you and your spouse or with a marriage coach or counselor. The couple learns to develop healthier communication patterns. They gain the tools to repair damage and move forward in their relationship.

Are there any prerequisites or recommended preparations before attending the retreat?

We ask every person attending to complete a confidential Marriage Inventory Questionnaire. This helps our team to have adequate information about how to support you during the weekend.

Who is the retreat for?

It is for any couple that desires to improve and restore their relationship. Many couples are currently separated, have filed for divorce, or consider themselves “on the brink.” We have even had divorced couples and engaged couples attend. Many couples who attend are recovering from infidelity or a major life crisis. It is not for couples that are in active addiction. This needs to be addressed before attending a weekend at our Christian couples retreat. It is also not designed for couples experiencing physical abuse. We are not trained or equipped to handle this.

Do you offer any follow-up support after the retreats?

We have a 4 session follow-up program. This is a video which is emailed on a weekly basis, making it a valuable resource for couples seeking guidance after leaving our marriage counseling retreat. It also comes with worksheets that the couple completes after listening to the podcast. The cost is $99, but financial assistance is available for those who cannot afford it. We also have ZOOM counseling available for those who need help following a retreat.

How are scriptures used to guide us during the retreat?

We are a Christian ministry dedicated to providing a spiritual retreat experience where we share the truths found in the Bible. Jesus Christ can guide us in our journey of restoring our marriages. You will receive a workbook which has scripture under every major point. The speakers also share scriptures based on the teaching. We do not want anyone to feel judged or pressured. We welcome all couples regardless of their spiritual beliefs.

What if I can't afford the retreat?

We have Financial Assistance available for those who cannot afford our intensive retreat due to low income or financial hardship. Simply complete the Financial Assistance Application. We are a ministry and want to assist couples who truly have financial need. We also offer an Online weekend which many couples utilize for the convenience of staying home and reduced costs to attend.
