Creating a satisfying and lasting relationship is one of the most challenging life accomplishments. It requires a solid foundation, tools and skills to navigate the ups and downs of life, and a relationship vision that satisfies the needs of each partner.

The struggle is all too common

The struggle is all too common. And all too real.

Many of us begin our relationship with the misguided belief that once you “fall in love” everything else will take care of itself. We lack good real-life role models, or our vision is clouded with Hollywood romance and other idealized, unrealistic notions. Few of us have the right tools to succeed. No wonder the divorce rate is high and many couples who stay married end up being dissatisfied in their relationship.

Couples struggle with conflict, have the same arguments over and over, and bring baggage from their family of origin and other relationships with them. Conflict invariably comes up – over money, in-laws, parenting, sex, intimacy, roles, obligations, religion, friends, personal habits, substance use, freedom, and security.

Sometimes a relationship has deteriorated and has become poisoned by disappointment, anger, resentment, guilt and other negative emotions that couples begin to actively dislike one another and prefer not to inhabit the same air. They argue about anything and everything they talk about, no matter how neutral the subject. Other couples are so withdrawn they barely speak to one another unless absolutely necessary.

One thing we know for sure

One thing we know for sure. Couples do not need to live in misery. There is a better way.

We can help you with all of this and more.

We are not born with the skills to have a great relationship.

We’re not taught these skills in school either. Working with a relationship counselor will help you get clarity about the issues confronting your relationship, explore ways to resolve them, learning new skills to help you navigate the inevitable ups and downs of life in relationship, and formulating a plan to move forward.

Are you having relationship issues and not sure how to solve them?

Are you considering divorce as a serious option?

Is it hard for the two of you to find time to meet with a counselor?

Have you tried couples counseling and failed?

Are you more motivated than your partner to work on your relationship?

Have you lost the affection and love in your relationship?

Option 1: Telephone Private Intensive Retreat

Most couples travel a distance to come to our in our Private Intensive Couples Counseling Retreats. Added to the cost of the retreat are expenses for travel, lodging and meals. Couples with children need to find childcare for two or three days. While we recommend couples take the opportunity to get away together and leave the distraction and worries of daily life behind so they can better focus on the relationship, this approach is not always practical in terms of time, convenience and money.

For couples in crisis that need immediate help, those struggling with complicated, multiple issue problems, or those who prefer intensive, condensed work and lack the time to commit to ongoing weekly sessions, we offer a two-day private intensive couples retreat with a follow-up call in five (5) weeks and email support for three month period.

[su_spoiler title=”Read more details about intensive telephone retreats…” icon=”chevron” class=”spoiler-darkbkgd”]

Two weeks before the scheduled retreat you will complete an extensive questionnaire about your family and relationship history and take assessments that will give us a thorough understanding of your background and the nature of the issues you face.

Each day for two consecutive days we will meet on a conference line (or Skype, if you prefer) for two sessions of two hours each. The specific times will be based on your schedule and what is convenient for you.

The Private Intensive Retreat is short-term, condensed counseling that has been shown to benefit couples. It often leads to reduction of feelings of distress, resolution of specific problems, and a stronger, more satisfying relationship. Couples on the brink of divorce or who have separated often recommit to a future together.

In this kind of intensive, condensed work you may move more quickly and intensely into the areas of difficulty, causing you and/or your partner to experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anxiety, and anger. Our work together may involve revisiting difficult or unpleasant parts of your history together.

Over the course of the two days, distress and turmoil between you may be amplified temporarily on the first day. Therefore, the work is appropriate only for those who can tolerate uncomfortable emotion during the process of the work.

As a result, this work is not recommended for people with excessive and explosive anger, substance abuse or addiction, with a history of violence or fear of violence, or a person who is experiencing suicidal or homicidal thoughts, or has a history of serious harm inflicted on him/herself or another person, or if either partner currently has an untreated mental illness (schizophrenia, recurrent psychotic depression, or bipolar/manic-depressive illness.[/su_spoiler]

The cost of the Telephone Private Intensive Retreat is $2100, payable in advance via check or credit card.
