Marriage Intensives
A Spring Life Intensive group retreat for married couples is a four-day therapeutic program that offers a structured, focused opportunity for deeper healing. Each group retreat includes 3- 4 couples and 2 therapists. As a couple, you will find growth and freedom from dysfunctional patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving as you experience healthy alternatives within a caring, connected group. Participation in the intensive requires 8-12 hours of preparatory marital counseling with a Spring Life counselor or approved associate who has been trained in Spring Life's pre-intensive counseling model.​

10 Reasons to consider a Marriage Intensive
Crisis
1) You are feeling like you are at a "stuck place" in your marriage.
​
2) You have considered divorce.
​
3) You are concerned about the impact of your marital conflict or disconnection on your children.
​
4) You know that the things that you and your spouse learned in your childhoods are negatively impacting your marriage, but even though you have tried very hard, you haven't been able to break the cycle of conflict.
​
5) There has been emotional or physical infidelity, or hurt and pain due to pornography, in your marriage and you find yourself not wanting to divorce but unsure how to move forward.
Enrichment
6) You see yourself approaching the empty nest years, and want to make sure you have a strong bond that will allow you to enjoy one another after your children have left home.
7) You feel that you have a strong bond as a couple, but are under ongoing stress from parenting a child with special physical, developmental, or emotional needs and could really benefit from a week of respite and encouragement. Many couples who have fostered or adopted "kids from hard places" have found a week of rest and rejuvenation at a marriage intensive, as well as becoming more equipped to care for the needs of their children in the process.
8) Even though you and your spouse have a strong bond, you have just walked through a season of pain, grief, or stress that has left you both in need of healing and a breath of fresh air for your hearts and marriage. Many couples have attended marriage intensives after unexpected and painful job transitions, loss of close family members, or other hard losses or transitions.
9) You and your spouse are in a ministry role where you are constantly serving others, but have found yourself close to burnout and realize that it would benefit you to have a week where you allow others to serve you.
10) You are having an absolute blast being married to your spouse, and your marriage has never been better....and you want to become more equipped to encourage and support younger or struggling couples in your sphere of influence.
