For any couple who has reached a breaking point in their marriage, it can be daunting to even admit that you may need help. But realizing that your relationship is in danger and reaching out for support is the first step you can take on the road to recovery. By reaching out to a licensed couples therapist, you can effectively set you and your partner up for a successful rekindling of a fizzling or breaking marriage.
While couples therapy is a great option for many, the truth of the matter is that it might not be the most effective method to renew your relationship. An hour once a week or once a month may not give you the adequate one-on-one attention and support that you need to overcome the obstacles standing in the way of your relationship. Another highly effective option that is a more intensive version of couples therapy is a marriage or couples counseling retreat. These on-site or virtual events are completely private and offer a more intensive version of therapy, packing 6-8 hours of work with a licensed therapist into a shorter, 2-7 day period. With the highly focused attention, couples are often able to identify and work through any issues that they may be facing much more quickly and effectively.
At the Marriage Restoration Project, we are proud to offer a variety of events and marriage intensive retreats to support the individual wants and needs of our clients. From two-day getaways to longer seven-day excursions, we offer a wide selection of options to cater to the busy lives and lifestyles of each couple that reaches out to our experienced team for help in rekindling their relationship.

The Imago Weekend Marriage Workshop
Perfect for the couple who is looking for an intensive, two-day retreat to renew their marriage, our Imago Weekend Marriage Workshop offers an affordable, flexible option. Also known as the “Getting the Love You Want” Workshop, this short retreat is performed over a single weekend and is often likened to be like 6 months of intensive couples therapy. By utilizing the Imago method, couples will walk through the issues that they are facing in their relationship and identify how they can work together to overcome each obstacle.
Although this workshop is set up in a group setting, it still offers the privacy and intensive one-on-one work that many relationships need in order to be reinvigorated. Couples are invited to share their experiences as they work together, but are not required to do so. According to workshop presenters, Rabbi Shlomo and Rivka Slatkin, “We’ve also learned over the years that one of the most inspiring elements of the workshop is to see other couples going through the Imago processes during the demonstration and to hear their stories.”

The Imago Couples Therapy Retreat in Costa Rica
If you and your partner are in need of a serious change of scenery to help rekindle your relationship, the All-Inclusive Costa Rica Imago Couples Therapy Retreat is a great option to consider. This multi-day excursion involves traveling to the beautiful, lush regions of Costa Rica to stay in a stunning hotel right along the private beach of Playa Hermosa. While pricier than the Imago Weekend Marriage Workshop, this retreat offers a pristine, breathtaking setting alongside intensive couples therapy to reset the mind and reinvigorate a struggling relationship.
Each of the five days spent at this all-inclusive resort include active and passive work on the relationship of each couple. Three days provide intensive, focused work while a fourth day provides respite and rest, allowing couples to explore the area together and create memories as a new foundation for their reinvigorated relationship. The final day of the retreat is focused on take-home takeaways, with planning for what happens next and discussions of how to continue the work once the couples travel home.

The Couples Cruise
Interested in something a little longer and a little more luxurious than a weekend getaway or Costa Rica trip? Our Getting the Love You Want Couples Cruise offers all of the amenities of a high-end cruise coupled with the intensive work of a week-long couples therapy retreat. While you travel from New Jersey to gorgeous Bermuda, you and your partner will undergo intensive daily work for four days, followed by three days of rest and relaxation in Bermuda.
This intensive couples therapy retreat utilized the renowned Imago method, focusing on viewing any issues that you may be facing as a natural part of being in love. Each day of the educational workshop involves focusing on a different part of your relationship, with the end goal of bettering communication and rekindling the ‘why’ of why you fell in love. Presenters David and Donna Bowman will walk couples through each step of the Imago process, sharing their personal journey and many years of experience in working with couples along the way.
