It’s time for our May marriage retreat. We’re so excited about seeing marriages like yours grow and get stronger.
Wherever you are in your marriage, you can take it to the next level and have fun in the process.
Couples will get away and work on some of the most common marriage issues like communication, conflict resolution, growth in intimacy, and help understanding why you respond to each other as you do at times.
You’ll also enjoy beautiful accommodations and time spent with each other.
My husband and I will be leading the retreat. Mike is a pastor and biblical counselor and I’m a certified biblical counselor. We have been counseling couples for twenty-plus years and, by God’s grace, have seen hundreds of marriages change and grow over the years.
What Other Participants Have to Say:
“We truly believe the Lord placed you in our lives when we needed it most. Thank you so much!”
“Great biblical teaching. There were so many practical suggestions for leading a more God-focused life.”
“Thank you for being such an inspiration, encouragement, and tremendous blessing. Thank you for all that you do.”

*We believe in a biblical view of marriage as between one biological man and one biological woman. And while we will meet privately with couples about their particular situation, retreats are open to couples who meet those qualifications. You can read more about a biblical view of marriage and what we believe by clicking the “what we believe” tab.

Today we'll zero in on, arguably, God's clearest and most definitive statement on marriage. It's the one statement about marriage that God makes four times (Gen. 2.24; Matt. 19.5; Mk. 10.7-8; Eph. 5.31) in the Bible. He said it once in the Old Testament, three times in the New, once before the fall, and three times after. It was and is God's plan and purpose for marriage in a nutshell. As a counselor, I can tell you, more often than not, when a couple is struggling in their marriage, it can be traced back to a failure to follow this blueprint in one or more areas. So, what are the components of God's divine plan for marriage in this verse?
Often, when a couple is struggling in their marriage, it can be traced back to a failure to follow God’s blueprint in one or more areas. So, what are the components of God's divine plan for marriage? The keywords are "leave," "joined," and "one flesh." In this lesson we’ll look at the second one, also translated “to cleave.” So, what exactly does cleaving mean and what are some of the ways we fail to cleave, sometimes without even realizing it?
