The Love, Trust & Respect Marriage Retreat
A marriage retreat offers something most couples rarely get:
unhurried time, skilled guidance, and space to reconnect—without distractions or pressure.
Unlike weekly counseling sessions that focus on putting out fires, a retreat creates room to step back and look at your relationship as a whole.
It’s a chance to slow down, listen differently, and rediscover the patterns that either strengthen—or quietly strain—your connection.
In a supportive, small-group setting (limited to 16 couples), couples often experience clarity, relief, and renewed understanding in ways that are hard to achieve in everyday life
The retreat sessions are held at our historic Oregon City Home.
I've intentionally constructed this experience to give each couple the quiet time needed to connect, process, and dream together - to be AT YOUR BEST.
