f you’re Googling “Christian marriage retreats near me,” you’re likely hoping for more than just sermons and prayer circles. You want your marriage to thrive. You want real healing, communication tools, and a therapist who understands that your faith and values are important.
But what happens when the retreats near you are either too religious—or not spiritual enough?
That’s where many Christian couples are finding a middle path: a private, therapist-led marriage retreat that isn’t “Christian” in branding, but still deeply respects your faith and commitment to one another.
What Christian Couples Often Want in a Marriage Retreat
If you and your spouse are searching for a Christian marriage retreat, chances are you value:
- A sacred view of marriage
- A desire to stay together, even in hard times
- A retreat leader who respects your faith and values
- Tools to communicate better, rebuild trust, and reconnect emotionally
You may also be wary of:
- Secular therapy that dismisses or contradicts your beliefs
- Group retreats that feel too public or uncomfortable
- Counseling that’s heavy on talking and light on doing
These concerns are valid—and they’re the very reasons why some Christian couples choose our private marriage therapy intensives.
What Makes a Secular Marriage Retreat Safe for Christian Couples?
Our retreats are not advertised as “Christian marriage retreats,” but they’re:
- Rooted in traditional family values
- Focused on healing relationships, not assigning blame
- Built around the idea that marriage is sacred and worth saving
- Led by trained therapists—like Rabbi Shlomo, who blends a deep respect for spirituality with evidence-based communication tools
We don’t teach theology. But we do help you and your spouse reconnect through safe, intentional dialogue that honors your commitment—and your beliefs.
What to Expect at Our 2-Day Private Marriage Retreat
Unlike most Christian marriage retreats near you—which may be group-based or primarily inspirational—our intensives are:
- Private and personalized to your unique challenges
- Grounded in therapy, not lectures
- Focused on results, not surface-level encouragement
- Led by therapists trained in powerful methods that help you reconnect safely
For many Christian couples, it’s the first time they’ve experienced a retreat where both their values and emotional needs are deeply supported.
When a Faith-Based Lens Isn’t Enough
Church-based marriage retreats can be meaningful—but they’re often one-size-fits-all or geared toward inspiration rather than transformation. If you’ve:
- Already tried a church retreat near you or small group and still feel stuck
- Gone to counseling through your pastor and didn’t get traction
- Reached a point where you’re desperate for change, not just encouragement…
…then it may be time to try something more focused, more clinical, and more personal.
That’s where a private, values-aligned intensive marriage retreat can truly help.
What If We Want to Include Our Faith in the Process?
We welcome it. Rabbi Shlomo, our founder, can incorporate biblical principles into the retreat process if requested, offering guidance through the lens of tradition and sacred partnership.
While not all of our therapists are faith leaders, many are comfortable and open to supporting couples who want to integrate their spirituality into the healing process.
Why Christian Couples Choose Our Retreats
Many of the Christian couples who come to us say:
- “We wanted something values-aligned, not preachy.”
- “We needed real help—not another weekend of surface-level advice.”
- “We were nervous about therapy, but it saved our marriage.”
They find that faith and therapy don’t have to be at odds—and that healing their marriage can be an act of faith.
You Don’t Have to Choose Between Faith and Therapy
We believe that therapy doesn’t need to compete with your beliefs—it can complement them. If you’re a Christian couple who wants real, meaningful change but you’re not sure a “secular” retreat will respect your values, we encourage you to reach out.
Your faith is welcome here. Your commitment matters. And your desire to heal your marriage is something we deeply honor.
