WHEN IT COMES TO
YOUR MARRIAGE HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED...

What happened to “Happily Ever After?”

 

Did I marry the wrong person?

 

Have we become nothing more than roommates?

 

How did we drift so far apart and become so disconnected?  

 

Is it even possible to turn around a marriage that is in deep trouble?  

 

Does our marriage feel heavy and hopeless?  

 

Is it possible to recover from his/her affair and find real help and deep healing for our marriage?

 

Why did our marriage become so stale and boring – is there any help out there to help us turn things around?

 

If we already have a GOOD marriage, are there proven ways to “level up” and turn it into a GREAT marriage?

 

If you answered YES to any ONE of these questions, then Hope Weekends are for YOU! 

OUR VISION FOR HOPE WEEKEND
IS SIMPLE

We want to transform good marriages into great marriages, and we want troubled marriages to be healed and restored so more children will grow up in happier, healthier homes.

 

One of the many “lessons learned” from doing relationship and marriage education work since 1998 is that most couples don’t know HOW to build and sustain a healthy marriage.  Nobody ever taught us the critical skills needed for a life-long marriage.

 

We ask you to block out 3 days of your life and go “all in” to get the breakthrough you desperately want and need from a Hope Weekend experience.  If you cannot commit to the entire 3 days, please do not sign up.  The stakes are too high for your marriage and family to walk into this experience half hearted.  

 

Hope Weekends provide specific, practical, attainable skills to help couples:

 

  •  Reconnect and develop/restore trust

  • Promote a greater sense of "Us" and oneness 

  •  Experience deeper levels of intimacy, knowledge, and understanding of one another

  •   Learn the essential relationship skills required to develop, maintain, and sustain a deeply    bonded and connected relationship

  •  Strengthen your core communication skills 

  •  Learn proven conflict resolution skills that work through problems without tearing one another apart

  •  Develop emotional regulation and increased EQ (Emotional Intelligence)

  •  Heal from accumulated relational pain

Did you know the average cost of a divorce is over $30,000?

Our Hope Weekend, comparatively, costs only $1,499 per couple (does not include food or lodging) and for more than 20 years we have an over 80% success rate in turning the most troubled marriages around (including those who have already started divorce proceedings).

IS DIVORCE THE BEST OPTION?

DO YOU NEED US TO COME TO YOU?

A Marriage Intensive, as the name implies, pairs a trained pastoral counselor or relationship coach with one couple for two or three full days of exploration, education, and skills development. As a couple learns new tools for communication, intimacy building, and conflict resolution those skills are put into immediate use to build the lasting marriage both desire.

Traditional Marriage Therapy has about a 35% rate of success in restoring and healing marriages. Marriage Intensives, on the other hand, succeed with 85% of couples who complete the experience. While traditional counseling takes months, a Marriage Intensive over two to three days can clear obstacles and develop relational skills with immediate results.

This Skills-based approach recognizes that there are basic emotional and relational needs common to all human beings. Relationships can be torn apart by past hurts and brokenness as well as by unmet emotional needs in the present. Using the best tools of psychological and behavioral research, our Marriage Intensive Pastoral Counselors help clients identify past hurts, unmet emotional needs, and self-defeating behavioral patterns which may be hindering personal growth and relational health. The goal of Skills Based Counseling is to assist couples in discovering new ways of thinking and behaving that will help them develop a healthy and satisfying marriage
