Why Choose a Couples Intensive Weekend?

There are a lot of reasons why a couple might choose to attend a couples intensive together. Although the following list shows examples of why a couple may choose to attend a retreat, the reasons will be different for each couple.

1. As a couple, you’ve drifted apart and feel as if you are living with “just a roommate”.

2. Having already tried weekly couples counseling, you found the progress too slow, that the problems keep building up, or it’s difficult for both of you to consistently show up weekly.

3. It’s a scheduling thing and booking a weekend away is more practical.

4. Your lonely and emotionally distant from your partner.

5. There are communication problems that lead to you having the same fights over and over again without resolution.

6. Rather letting issues become larger ones, you need to address the small issues now

7. You’ve been through a big life change, such as the loss of a loved one, a big move, or a career change.

8. Infidelity happened and now you need affair recovery.

9. Finding yourself on the brink of divorce, you decide a couples retreat is a last-ditch attempt to save your marriage.

10. Intuitively you know that your relationship needs help.

How a Couples Intensive Can Help.

A couples intensive weekend can be equivalent to six months of weekly therapy sessions.

Furthermore, the experience is designed to guide you deep. Deep into your core relationship issues to give you both tools to create a healthy, lasting relationship in day-to-day life. Specifically, this retreat is an opportunity to accelerate the pace of healing in your relationship and give you momentum to build lasting change.

Once the weekend is reserved, you will be sent an in-depth questionnaire that will help us evaluate the state of your relationship. Questions will cover everything from sex and intimacy, parenting, and finances. Also we look at lifestyle choices, conflict resolution, communication, lingering hurts and past resentments.

Finally, we discuss co-parenting with an ex if applicable, infidelity concerns, career choices, and your individual viewpoints and perspectives. Although these questionnaires are helpful, your therapist will want your perspective on the specific issues and concerns that you bring to the weekend. You will have a weekend specifically designed for you.

Our Approach to Couples Counseling

At The Relationship Therapy Center, our couples therapists are trained in The Gottman Method Approach to couples counseling. Each therapist will work with you together, as a couple, to recognize the core issues that are causing hurt and disconnection. Then give you tools and practices for both of you to feel seen and heard, not only throughout the weekend, but for years to come. As a result of our work, we help you to build a relationship that is based on trust, friendship, and connection. Consider a couples retreat as a reset and reboot for the health of your relationship.

The Best Candidates for a Couples Retreat at The Relationship Therapy Center include:

1. Relationships that are in crisis or on the brink of divorce.

2. Newlyweds or couples about to get married.
