Couples work is for every couple.   A lasting partnership takes intention and investment.   We've had couples from pre-marital on up to 30+ years of marriage attend our retreats.  What they all have in common is the awareness that their relationship is worth tending to and the courage to show up and be vulnerable.  This retreat is about prevention and enrichment.   We utilize the curriculum of Building A Lasting Connection(R) which is based in Attachment Theory.

This retreat is for you if:

• You consider your communication to be 'okay' but something seems off
• You've ever wondered how to deepen your connection with your partner
• You're unsure of how to move through conflict in a more effective way
• You need a break from the stress of daily life
• You want to spend quality time with your love

• You want to learn from other couples and share with other couples

What couples are saying:

"Relationships aren’t easy, disagreements can be a beautiful thing as long as in the end it reconnects you and your spouse.
We were able to attend a marriage retreat this weekend called Building a lasting connection.
Relearning how to communicate our problems, having a full on conversation with a resolution in place. Normalizing every day issues within every couple, how to make sure needs are met and what it looks like in our spouse/partner when those needs aren’t being met.
Being vulnerable is a scary thing. But being able to do so in front of your spouse/partner is incredibly powerful.
You must take care of your relationship like you do your home, your children, your lawn, your health.
Investing in your spouse and your marriage makes for a lasting connection.
Have those hard conversations."- Holly and Cameron Crocker

"This weekend was such a good investment in our marriage, and we learned some valuable skills I know will serve us for years going forward!"- 2022 Participant


"I want to say that (my partner) and I have done our best to do something marriage positive annually since we were married in 1997, whether reading books or attending conferences.  Your conference is by far the best we have attended.  So good in fact that we are coming back just 6 months later (and are both excited to revisit the material)."- 2021 and 2022 Participant
