Stop surviving week to week.
Our Marriage Intensives are designed for couples who want to make meaningful progress in a concentrated setting. Instead of meeting for one session each week, you'll spend a half or full day intentionally working through the issues that matter most, with guided conversations, practical tools, and a personalized plan for moving forward.
Whether you're navigating recurring conflict, rebuilding trust, preparing for marriage, or simply feeling disconnected, a Marriage Intensive provides the space to slow down, understand one another more deeply, and begin making lasting changes.
Before your intensive, each spouse will complete the Prepare/Enrich relationship assessment. This nationally recognized tool helps identify your relationship's strengths, growth areas, personality dynamics, communication patterns, conflict tendencies, and shared values.
Rather than spending hours trying to discover where to begin, we'll start with valuable insight into your relationship from day one.
The $35 assessment fee is included in the cost of your intensive.
No two marriages are identical. Based on your specific challenges, you'll receive carefully selected worksheets, exercises, and practical resources to continue strengthening your relationship long after the intensive is over.
These may include communication exercises, conflict-resolution tools, attachment-based activities, forgiveness work, spiritual growth practices, or recommended reading tailored to your situation.
The goal isn't simply to have a productive day together, it's to leave with clarity.
Before you leave, we'll develop practical next steps that fit your relationship, helping you continue building on the progress you've made during the intensive.
Healthy marriages aren't built by winning arguments.
They're built through understanding, emotional safety, personal responsibility, forgiveness, and learning new ways to communicate with one another.
Our approach is both biblically rooted and clinically informed. Scripture provides the foundation for understanding love, covenant, grace, humility, and reconciliation, while proven counseling methods help couples develop practical skills for communication, conflict resolution, emotional connection, and lasting change.
The goal is not simply to solve today's conflict, but to help you develop healthier patterns that strengthen your marriage for years to come.
Marriage Intensives may be a great fit if you:
Not exactly.
Each counseling session is intentionally limited to about 60 minutes, with scheduled breaks built throughout the day. Those breaks allow time to reflect, decompress, pray, grab a snack, or simply breathe before continuing the work together. Many couples find this rhythm far more productive than trying to stay emotionally engaged for several uninterrupted hours.
The purpose of an intensive is to create significant momentum, uncover unhealthy patterns, strengthen communication, and establish a practical path forward. Many couples experience breakthroughs during an intensive that would have taken months to reach through traditional weekly counseling.
Many couples benefit from occasional follow-up sessions to reinforce what they learned, but there is no obligation. We'll discuss recommendations together based on your unique situation.
Your relationship deserves more than squeezing difficult conversations into the margins of a busy week.
A Marriage Intensive creates intentional space to slow down, understand one another more deeply, and begin moving toward the marriage you've been hoping for.
