The Refuge
MARRIAGE INTENSIVE
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” - Psalm 46:1
Discover The Marriage You Were Meant To Have
Our marriage intensives are for couples in severe crisis situations—such as those on the brink of divorce—as well as couples who require in-depth counseling or help progressing in their relationship.
At The Refuge Marriage Intensive two licensed, Christian therapists and/or pastoral counselors lead experiential, Christ-centered sessions in a three couple, group-therapy format over a three-and-a-half-day period. This safe environment helps get to the heart of marital problems, breaks down communication obstacles, and brings healing and restoration to unhealed wounds.
We want you to understand how important and valuable your are and here, at The Refuge Marriage Intensive, you will be overwhelmingly and abundantly cared for and loved.
What To Expect: While intensives involve six to eight hours of therapy each day, we build in free time, privacy, and one-on-one spouse interaction during your stay at The Refuge.
Our Approach: Our carefully designed approach frequently results in initial breakthroughs and long-term change - participants will not only find themselves on the right track after an intensive, but they will have been given the practical knowledge and tools to stay there.

“I haven’t had a breakthrough like this with my husband in any other therapy like setting. Having the space and time to process everything and work through the hard steps made all the difference. Thank you from the bottom of our less-broken-now-healing hearts!”
“A restful, vacation environment with lots of learning, lots of care, and a primary goal of giving you a massive tool to combat marital, personal, and relational stress and pain. You’ll leave with a tool that can really change your life.”
“The Refuge Marriage Intensive was an incredible time of reflection and insight, The tools I learned I can use in any and all relationships, but most of all my marriage.”
“What we learned and the tools they gave us will be life-changing, not only for our marriage, but for any venue or relationship.”
