CAN AN INTENSIVE SAVE MY MARRIAGE?

It can certainly be a strong start if:

  • You and your partner are at the end of your rope.
  • You are out of options for what to do to bring about positive change.
  • You have a very busy schedule or are frequently out of town.

Relationship intensives provide an opportunity for addressing years of communication breakdown, unrepaired hurt and/or addiction and infidelity issues. Most importantly, it does so without the stops and starts of regular weekly or bimonthly sessions.

AN INTENSIVE MIGHT BE A PERFECT FIT IF…

  • You and your partner barely know each other anymore
  • Time together is more stressful than nurturing
  • You’ve hurt your partner and don’t know how to repair
  • An addiction has hijacked the love you once had
  • Betrayal has left you feeling unsure or uncommitted
  • You are exhausted from trying so hard and for so long to make your marriage work
  • You no longer (or have never) worked as a good TEAM
  • You simply feel done – but want to end it with integrity and grace

If any of these resonate, your relationship may not have time for months of couples therapy.

You want changes that last and you want to see them materialize quickly.

You need something intensely focused so you can stop hurting now.

Regular couples therapy is a process that takes time – often months or years- and partly because there are inevitable interruptions due to scheduling conflicts, holidays or travel time. Any number of reasons arise in the busyness of everyday life that can stall the regular visits that are necessary for ongoing momentum forward. It’s not that this practice doesn’t work – it does, it just takes longer to create the change that must occur for each of you to become a better version of yourself as a partner.

Intensives, on the other hand, offer something unique.
