I don’t have to tell you that prices are going up everywhere. And, unfortunately, that includes the price of lodging in Ruidoso coming into the summer months. Beginning in June we will have to increase the price of our retreats. But you can still book a room at our May Marriage Retreat at the original price of $500 including meals (with the exception of a date night meal), snacks, materials, and lodging.
You’ll get away and hear teaching on some of the most common marriage issues like communication, conflict resolution, and intimacy, and get help understanding yourself and your spouse.
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.”
“You helped us find our way back!”
“Thanks so much for everything you have done for us. You are truly a blessing from God and we praise him for that. We thank you for helping us. May God continue to bless you in your ministry.”

*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.
Donna is a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, writer, and Biblical counselor. She is certified through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors. She, also, leads retreats and marriage conferences with her husband Mike.
Marriage can be one of the greatest human relationships there is. It can offer companionship, friendship, intimacy, and someone to rely on through the ups and downs of life. But sometimes marriage isn't what you expected. Often marriage will test you in ways you weren't prepared for.
We've all heard the phrase "a marriage made in heaven." But depending on your life situation, the word marriage may bring to mind different thoughts and images. Perhaps it's of your parents' marriage and whether it was a good one or a contentious one. Or maybe it's your own marriage and the thoughts, dreams, commitments, and even preconceptions, you had when you married. Or perhaps, marriage is something you are still looking forward to.
Wherever you are ... married, divorced, widowed, or single, I pray you'll take away truths from this series that will help you in your own or any future marriage or help you minister to others who are married.
