Marriage Intensive Retreats

Over the course of a three or four-day guided intensive, our team of licensed counselors, facilitators, and ministry team will walk you and your spouse on a practical “step-by-step” journey that will culminate in a new dimension of connection, intimacy & love.

We utilize the therapeutic process in one-on-one sessions and small-group processing time. In addition, each couple will have a team of intercessors praying over them throughout their stay. You will engage in activations & exercises that will help you uncover the roots of your hidden pain, self-sabotaging, or addictive behaviors that have been harmful to your spouse and your marriage.

We take a holistic approach to healing trauma, as it impacts the mind, body, soul, and spirit. You will have optional sessions for ‘energy work’ or classes customized to release trapped trauma in the body. ‘Coming alive Sexually’ breakout and Massage available to book. We provide you with the teaching and tools that will increase intimacy, rebuild trust, and engage in authentic heart conversations long after you return home.

The intensive healing you receive will release newfound confidence in your ability to safely communicate your needs, empathetically resolve conflict, and open your spouse’s heart to share their deepest desires and needs. You can have a marriage filled with Intimacy that frees you to give and receive love without walls or fear.

Join our intensive so you can shift into a new season of marriage filled with unity, trust, joy, and passion. Our program starts before you arrive for the weekend intensive. When you register for the retreat, we ask you and your spouse to each complete a couple’s “Confidential Marital Relationship Assessment,” which gives each spouse’s timeline, story & history of your life journey.

We offer a 20-minute consultation at no cost to you. Email Charla@originaldesgncc.com
