We provide online & phone marriage retreats near me and couples retreats.
Do you need to restart your relationship?
Well to start this process, all we ask is that you devote some hours during a marriage retreat to making a commitment to allow transformation to take place.
Achieve far more progress than you would in month’s of weekly couples counseling. This is a customized individual marriage bootcamp or encounter (or couple’s bootcamp) which will change your life forever.
Affordable marriage retreats near me & intensive couples counseling
We run intensive marriage retreats near me – one couple (or one person or one family or close friends or business partners) at a time intensive retreats. You can do this virtually via video conferencing or you can do it in Chicago or Chicagoland, Illinois or Fairfield, Iowa (5 hours south-west of Chicago). It can be done over one or two days or over whatever time period you would like. You can do as many or as few hours as you would like.
For example, you could do 7 hours a day for 2 days. Or you could just do 3 hours this Sunday and 3 hours the following Sunday. Whatever works for you. But keep in mind that you need a few hours to achieve any real results.
Please note that we treat both partners equally and both are given an equal voice, so you should not be scared to participate. This is not typical therapy by any means.
This intensive marriage retreats near me will help you, whether you are:
- on the verge of a divorce
- wanting to save your marriage
- just not fully satisfied with your relationship
- a couple where one or other partner is afraid of taking the next step to marriage (ie commitment issues)
- a couple in need of premarital counseling
- already divorced but still needing to work together to raise your children
- family members of whatever age having relationship problems
- close friends or business partners facing issues.
Sometimes people who are meant to be together break up just because they don’t know how to be in a relationship. That’s where we can help. And it’s a lot cheaper than getting a bad divorce.
Sometimes it helps to pretend that the divorce has already happened and that you are just trying to learn how to be friends again afterward. It’s a bit like doing things to improve your life after a heart attack has happened.
Although we can’t guarantee that you will stay together, at least this couple retreat will help you gain more respect and understanding for each other so that if you do have to break up, at least you will be able to do it in an amicable way. You will certainly learn lots of marriage tips and also what it means to be in a marriage relationship and this knowledge may help you save your marriage and to have a good life for yourselves, regardless of what happens.
Possible topics (as needed):
- the differences between “your issues”, “your partner’s issues”, and “your issues as a couple”
- the importance of a good routine in bringing stability and couple unity
- breaking patterns and habits
- developing empathy and understanding
- creating receptivity for love
- touch, intimacy and sexual fulfillment
- communication
- trust, secrets, and infidelities
- how to not get lost in your partner
- letting go of the past
- helping each other grow
- or your own particular issues.
Any relationship takes work and so does this retreat, but we do our best to make the whole process fun and enjoyable. Let this be the vacation that changed your life and which strengthened your relationship.
