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.”
“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.

Previously, we have looked at an overview of marriage and have been discussing the three components of marriage that God laid out in Genesis 2.24 and other places in Scripture: leaving, cleaving, and what we're calling "weaving," growing in a one-flesh relationship. Today we'll focus on that third component, "weaving."
We all want intimacy in our marriages, what the Bible calls a one-flesh relationship. We want our spouses to spend time with us, consult us about decisions, share our hopes and dreams, encourage us when we're struggling, treat us kindly, and for there to be openness and humility. But are there things we should do or not do if we're to achieve that kind of one-flesh marriage? And, if so, what are they?
We've been discussing the three components of marriage God laid out in Genesis 2.24 and other places in Scripture: leaving, cleaving, and what we're calling "weaving," growing in a one-flesh relationship. In the last post, we started talking about "weaving" and today we're going to go a little deeper on the subject.
