A couples retreat can bring intimacy, renewal and healing if you’ve been neglected or feel betrayed
Laura was contemplating the end of her marriage. She and her husband Bill had been married for eighteen years, and had two young children. The marriage was not in a major crisis, but was definitely in ‘maintenance’ mode. Laura wondered if their relationship was in a rut, or if her marriage was heading for divorce like half of her friends and neighbors.
Laura and Bill found a Couples Workshop – mine. They came and spent the mornings in a small, intimate group with two other couples and worked on their marriage issues, and found ways to communicate about their needs. In the afternoon they went to the beach, took naps, and went sightseeing.
The tropical environment helped bring back the romance in their relationship and reminded them of why they loved one another and what made them come together in the first place. And with a seasoned guide to help them with their personal frustrations, they used the time to increase their intimacy and connection.
The workshop helped Bill and Laura. Can a couples retreat really help any couple looking for help?
