Before we came to this retreat, I had not spoken to my husband in weeks. We were busy with the kids, work and extended family, that we forgot about us. We went back and forth if we should attend, but we are so grateful that we did. We were provided the tools to practice grace, hope and love in our marriage. We’ll use the essential marriage communication tools as our lives continue to join and as we grow gracefully together. I can not thank you enough for this retreat!
— CYNTHIA
“I appreciate all that you have done and continue to do for my husband and I. I can honestly say that I am enjoying my husband and his company for the first time in many years! It feels great! We still have things we need to iron out. I have faith and hope that with your guidance and God’s will for our marriage, we will make it through it all!”
— CHARLES & AMY
“I wanted to thank you for your insights as they have made a HUGE difference in the path of our relationship. Thank you!!!”
— TERRELL & AMY
“I know you probably do not remember all the details about our crazy life but I thought I would give you a brief update since it has been so long since we have been there. I strongly believe that we would not be where we are today without your help! Thanks again!”
— KEITH & JOY
