Does anybody know of a program that holds weekends, summits or retreats for marriage help? Something like a weekend-long marriage turnaround program? We are going to counseling together, he is going alone, and we are attending group meetings weekly separately but we are still having major problems. Could be growing pains but still- I feel like we need something a bit more profound to really turn things around. Anybody know of anything like this?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I found one in Houston in August- I think we are going to go to that one- a weekend away from everything would help us to reconnect, while intense therapy can really jump start growth and progress. I'm excited about it!!

I'm so proud of you. I can't answer the question, but I had to tell you how proud I am of you for how hard you're working at this and how strong you're being. No matter which way your paths take you, YOU will make it because you're such an incredible woman. I hope someone has a great suggestion for you. Hang in there; you're wonderful!! :)

Google 'marriage encounter' and Retrouvaille - it is typically for Catholics, but I don't think it's required that you be Catholic to attend. I'm not 100% sure though.

Retrouvaille is helpful for marriages that need repair. Marriage encounter is probably more for a couple that wants to strengthened their marriage.

Call around to local churches and ask! I know that our church advertises marital retreats several times each year. Good luck!

Check with your local churches. I'm pretty sure that even if you are not members they would welcome you to these events (if they currently have any going on.)
