Sometimes the best way to work on your relationship is to step away from the daily grind. Retreats give couples the chance to focus deeply, without the distractions of home, work, or kids.

Think of it as a “relationship reset.” In two days, you’ll walk away with practical skills for managing conflict, rekindling connection, and creating shared meaning for the long haul.

Couples who invest time in structured retreats report stronger communication, greater intimacy, and renewed commitment.

Join us October 18–19 in Lyle, WA. Central Gorge.

Did you know? Research from Dr. John Gottman’s “Love Lab” shows that 96% of conflicts can be predicted within the first three minutes of a conversation. The difference between success and struggle often comes down to how couples start talking, and how they repair after conflict.

At the Present Tense Relating Workshop, you’ll explore the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, including:

✔ Enhancing your “Love Maps” (knowing each other’s inner world)
✔ Nurturing fondness and admiration
✔ Turning toward each other instead of away
✔ Creating shared meaning

These tools have helped thousands of couples worldwide and they can help yours too.
