Marriage Intensives
Many couples require more intensive counseling than one hour per week. While traditional couples counseling is helpful, some couples feel like they are not able to get into the deeper issues when they are limited to just an hour. Marriage Intensives are helpful because couples are away from everyday distractions, counseling goes to a deep level, there is a sense of community with other struggling couples, and we rely on Biblical foundations for the content of the sessions.
Marriage Intensives are specifically designed for couples that are in crisis. Couples will participate in group sessions with 4 other couples and two skilled therapists. Research has shown that couples usually benefit from this type of therapy and 80% of the time their marriage is restored. If the couple still decides to pursue divorce, they report that the process was much more amiable than it would have been without the intensive experience. (National Institute of Marriage, 2007)

Many times in Scripture, Jesus retreated from the demands of daily life and went into the wilderness alone to spend time in prayer and fellowship with God. Sometimes, marriages need a retreat too. That’s why we have partnered with Lake Lundgren Bible Camp (www.llbc.org) to host these events. During this time, couples will be sharing their own story, and hear the stories of others while the therapists direct the sessions to bring each individual to a point of reconciliation. The first session begins at 7pm on a Thursday night and continues until Saturday evening, when we will conclude with a private worship service and communion event.
