What to Expect
overview
Our Christian marriage retreats are conducted in a small group setting with 10 to 15 couples and are centered on the truths found in the Bible. These weekends are designed to be experiential; we don’t simply provide instructions, but you actively engage in the work throughout the weekend.
After or during each session, you will participate in step-by-step exercises or projects, either individually or as a couple. These interactions are kept private, and you won’t be sharing with other couples. Your discussions and exercises will take place in a safe environment with clear guidance and direction.
Our weekend retreat is thoughtfully structured to address the most complex issues in marriage. We do, however, have coaches and counselors available to assist couples if they encounter challenges or feel “stuck” during the program. We also offer a structured time to meet privately as a couple with one of the marriage coaches or counselors.
pre-retreat preparation
Our program starts before you arrive for the weekend intensive. When you register for the retreat, we ask you and your spouse to each complete a couple’s “Confidential Marital Relationship Assessment” which gives us each spouse’s perspective of their presenting issues. This helps our team of counselors and coaches better understand how to work with you through A New Beginning renewal project.
day one - laying the foundation
Starting with our first session on Friday evening we begin the retreat by laying the foundation needed to embark upon a weekend journey which is an intensive one, yet which promises to be a very rewarding one.
day two - deep healing and restoration
On day two, we begin walking you carefully, step by step through each aspect of a healing process crucial in helping you as a couple achieve a deep level of healing in your hearts and souls, from the least to the most painful of past events in your marriage. Accomplishing this crucial step enables you to then be able to work together with less tension and a greater sense peace and unity. We then guide you through the process of re-establishing your emotional connection as a couple, addressing unresolved issues, using practical tools to rebuild communication, empathy, closeness, and friendship.
Saturday evening will be dedicated to a major restoration project, during which most couples experience a profound level of healing. During this time, you’ll have the opportunity to meet privately with one of our trained marital coaches or counselors. They will spend approximately 75 minutes working with you to ensure success with the project.
day three - planning for a healthier future
Lastly, in phase three, we assist you in developing a personalized plan for making attitude and behavioral life changes, and equipping you with tools to take those crucial next steps that will lead to a healthier, happier marriage going forward. Our after-care program is strategically designed to support the major changes, experiences and skills developed from the the weekend.
After completing our weekend marriage retreat, many couples share that they have experienced a significant emotional reconnection. They have genuinely listened to their partner’s pain and understood them, often for the first time ever. Couples have been able to leave behind old grievances and are now prepared to move forward together, united in purpose. They have gained valuable tools for communicating on a deep and intimate level. Most importantly, many couples report feeling a renewed connection with God and a recommitment to their life and marriage in Christ.
convenient after-care program
Following the weekend, you are eligible to participate in our “MarriageBuilders” after-care program designed to help you stay on a positive track of growth and development going forward in your New Beginning. The “MarriageBuilders Tool Kit” consists of four Video sessions with Study Guides and Couple Projects. Optional tele-coaching is also available following the weekend. Additional information and registration will be offered at the Retreat Weekend.
