Couples Therapy Retreats and Intensive Marriage Counseling in California
Your marriage is in crisis.
You wonder if it’s “too late” to get help.
Maybe, there’s been an affair or one partner is considering leaving the relationship.
Or, a tragedy or loss occurred in your family or close circle, which has shaken you both to your core.
Now, everything seems uncertain and you’re not sure where to go from here. Perhaps, you’re even considering divorce.
Relationship problems are common for every couple. How they are handled makes all the difference in a successful relationship.
Traditional weekly couples counseling can be very effective and beneficial in solving these problems. But, progress can be slow and frustrating, especially for those who are unable to attend each week. Many couples feel overwhelmed by the repetitive and escalating nature of the problems. Some married couples have tried weekly therapy without seeing any positive results and are ready to try something different.
You are willing to give your marriage one last shot, but you don’t have the time or patience to do weekly therapy for months before seeing improvement in your relationship.
A Couples Therapy Retreat Can Help You Improve Your Relationship
A couples retreat is designed to give you and your partner useful tools that you can use in your day-to-day life. During an intensive couples retreat you spend extended time together with a Gottman trained therapist to find rapid relief in your relationship. In fact, a weekend couples retreat is the equivalent to 6 months of 50-minute couples therapy sessions.

Evaluate Your Relationship with Your Partner Using the Gottman Relationship Check Up
Before your couple’s retreat begins, you and your partner will get a scientific evaluation of your relationship. We will send you an online Gottman relationship check up to complete. This will take about 1.5 hours. This research-based tool helps couples by identifying the strengths and challenges of a relationship. The State of the Union Gottman Relationship Checkup covers questions about:
- Friendship
- Intimacy
- Emotions
- Conflict
- Values
- Trust
- Parenting
- Housework
- Finances
- Individual areas of concern
- …and more!
Your relationship therapist will use the answers from this quiz to better understand areas of your relationship that would benefit from therapeutic help during your weekend together.
