Two Days That Reset a Marriage
Weekend Marriage Retreat
A weekend retreat is the fastest way to install a new framework for your marriage. Two focused days, away from work and kids, learning the skills couples need — and practicing them together before you leave.
What a Weekend Retreat Can Do
A two-day retreat will not solve every marriage problem. But it will compress months of insight into a single weekend, give you a shared vocabulary for what is actually happening, and send you home with concrete skills to practice. For most couples, that is enough to break out of stuck patterns and start moving in the right direction.
Our Marriage 3.0 Retreat
Our weekend retreat is called Marriage 3.0. It runs Friday evening through Sunday afternoon and combines teaching segments with private couple exercises. There is no public sharing or forced confession — couples work in privacy on their own marriage. We typically run with 6 to 12 couples per retreat.

Where and When
Our retreats run in Texas, typically in the Dallas/Fort Worth area or at retreat centers within driving distance. We schedule retreats throughout the year. Couples come from across the U.S. — flying in is common. Contact us for the next available retreat date.
After the Retreat
A weekend retreat is a launch point, not a finish line. Most couples who attend follow up with 6 to 12 months of mentoring or coaching to lock in the new patterns. Without follow-up, weekend insights tend to fade in 90 days. The retreat is the start; the practice is what changes the marriage.
