Longing to FEEL in love again? Want to feel more connected like you did at the beginning of your relationship? Are you looking to improve communication and overall marriage satisfaction? An Intensive Marriage Retreat is for the couple who wants to see results without spending months in marriage counseling.
Why a Weekend Retreat with Texas Marriage Retreat?
We offer a personalized weekend focused completely on you. This intensive approach gives you, as the only couple in the room, a focused attention from one or two highly trained Christian therapists who are tailoring the approach specifically to your issues. When attending therapy for an hour once a week, often the real work begins just as the hour ends and you have to wait a week to revisit the topic. With an intense marriage retreat, you will not feel the same time constraints and will find progress happens at an exponential rate.
Texas Marriage Retreat offers the ability to customize your retreat into the vacation of your dreams. We don’t want to offer a cookie cutter experience where the couple stays inside an office and never gets to enjoy the retreat and relaxation that they are needing. We offer a variety of services that are available to you.
- One or two Christian s in order counselor to get the male and female perspective.
- Massage therapy
- The town offers fine dining at a number of 5 to 4 star restaurants. Some may require reservations. When you call to reserve your unique retreat we will help you with that.
- Visit Fort Worth to see where the west began or enjoy a quite walk through one of the awarded-winning gardens located in and around Weatherford.
Some couples retreats offer sessions to multiple couple sat a time and have a generic approach in order to cover the masses. At Texas Marriage Retreat, all sessions are designed specifically to work on your unique issues in a private setting.
A detailed history and a series of assessments are taken before you arrive in order to develop a weekend that meets your individual needs as a couple. When you leave, you will have gained insight in how to remain connected and how to communicate so that you both feel heard and validated.
Sessions are conducted in our historic 1903 home turned office. We provide a comfortableenvironment where couples can feel safe to work on your most intimate issues. While the work is intensive, we work to balance this intensity with moments of peace so that you are not stuck in the painful emotions. Breaks can be taken on the front porch and the swing is an excellent place to relax and process information.
