Marriage Retreat
The Hold Me Tight Retreat is a 2-day workshop that helps couples re-connect. We typically have 8-12 couples attend this retreat. We make it safe and private by not requiring any sharing of private marriage matters in the large group. Couples receive education in the large group and do break-out sessions on key skills.
Even the deepest wounds can be healed. We help couples fall in love again.
This transformational weekend is based on Dr. Sue Johnson’s best-selling book, Hold Me Tight, which uses the science-backed principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—a method proven to help over 75% of couples improve and strengthen their relationship.
There is an inherent, universal need in human beings for a safe haven relationship where a loved one is experienced as emotionally accessible & responsive so that this person can be depended upon.
During this workshop, you and your partner will
- Gain a deeper understanding of romantic love and emotional connection.
- Discover why your most common arguments repeat—and how to change the pattern.
- Learn how to release resentment, validate each other’s pain, and rebuild trust through forgiveness.
- Explore the pathway toward a more fulfilling emotional and physical intimacy.
- Develop tools that support ongoing personal and relational growth.
You’ll be guided through the 7 transformative conversations from Hold Me Tight®, with time to practice these privately as a couple throughout the weekend.
You’ll learn to recognize negative patterns, strengthen your emotional bond, and respond to one another with greater compassion and understanding.
The best part? These tools will stay with you long after the weekend ends—helping you nurture a stronger, more connected, and loving relationship.
