Marriage Retreat in Rancho Santa Fe, California

 

We all need acceptance, belonging, comfort and safety with our spouse or life-long partner. We want a positive answer to the key questions in love relationships:  Are you there for me?” “Do I matter to you?” “Am I enough?”          

 

Now, thanks to cutting-edge science, we know what goes wrong in love—and how to put it right!  

      

In a beautiful setting, you can enjoy renewing and strengthening your relationship with breakthrough strategies that can help you stop arguing, learn how to problem solve and really communicate even about the issues that often set you off track with each other.          

 

You can improve, strengthen, heal and transform your relationship from where ever it is right now, using the tools and information that you will gain.         


Practical Tools and Steps – you will put right into practice the strategies and techniques you learn on the spot.          

Time Away to Focus – making your relationship a priority and having time to just focus on what your relationship needs. Having dedicated

        time allows you to immerse in the new ways of thinking and doing things as they              are introduced to you. When you leave you can take with you the clarity you

        need to make these changes last.          

Effective Approach – having worked with hundreds of couples and trained thousands of therapists you will be working with a team that has the inside information on what really works to turn marriages around. Creating lasting resolution to problems and issues is at your fingertips with this effective approach to marriage happiness you will learn.          


        You will learn to          

  • Break the cycles of frustration and loneliness in your relationship
  • Make sense of your own emotions and your partner’s
  • Create lasting trust and intimacy
  • Forgive injuries that destroy trust and safety
  • Deepen your erotic connection.

 

In addition to practice with your partner, you will see how other couples in the Hold Me Tight: Conversations for Connection DVD learned to step out of negative cycles and create a lifetime of love.          

This marriage retreat uses the book Hold Me Tight as this marriage retreat manual by Susan Johnson         



 

Based on the best selling book by Sue Johnson, Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love."   http://www.holdmetight.net/video.php
