Our approach
Are you feeling like you and your spouse have “grown apart” over the years? Are you just getting started and realizing that marriage is harder than you thought? Is your marriage on the brink of divorce? Come find solutions to these problems and more in this 4-part marriage class.
Like trees, we all change over time, based on seasons of “drought” or “plenty.” These times of challenge, whether in excess or in famine, can impact how we see ourselves and our spouse today. In these marriage retreats, you will learn about your past and find tools to heal those parts of you that hurt. You will learn how to better communicate your hurt and fears with your spouse. You will learn how to be interdependent with one another - so that you can be empowered to heal both on your own and together.
Can we find moments of healing?
After better understanding your past, we want to help you locate what it is your body needs to continue to grow. Sometimes our minds are ready for change, but our bodies are held in the past. Through this workshop, you will learn techniques to help heal the past - sometimes that might be on your own or sometimes that might be in the context of your spouse or another member of the retreat.
Where does your hurt begin?
One of the first things we will do in this marriage retreat is to create a timeline of your past - of both the positive and negative things that happened in your life. We will not dwell on these memories, but will use them to better understand the challenges you have faced and how they might show up in your marriage today.
Where does our journey go after this?
After beginning the process to heal from our past, we can look toward the future with great hope. This workshop will give you the tools to understand your feelings, where they might be coming from, how to communicate your needs to your spouse, and how to get those needs met on your own. This workshop will help rekindle the fire the two of you felt when you first beginning your relationship and will help you two to grow into a stronger and more mature marriage.
