Many couples coming to the private couples retreat don't expect romance. In fact, they may have tried romantic get-aways before that have ended in disaster. Without the skills to effectively discuss differences, they quarrel over whether to stay by the pool or go shopping; which restaurant to eat in; even whether the luxury accommodations live up to their standards!
Others have tried small group formats and learned that they simply couldn't calm themselves down adequately to make good use of the experience. The skills they learn, they quickly forget.
In our private one-to-one couples therapy retreats, we know you are coming for serious clinical help. Some of you have separated or even filed for divorce. A gorgeous setting is wasted when two people, once in love, can no longer enjoy their time together.
The investment you make in setting aside one weekend, whether for enhancement, or to give it one "last shot" can transform the way you live and love. You'll learn new skills for managing chronic conflicts, opening up and sharing your deepest heart-felt dreams and fears. You'll also gain new respect for the history you've created together and plan a meaningful future you can look forward to.
