Improve Communication and Your Marriage at our Caribbean Couples Retreat Vacation

Sometimes we “forget” our spouse.

Not literally, but in a way we really do.

We get wrapped up in the stress of raising the kids, pressures of work and living…

…and we forget why we fell in love, who we are married to, the special moments that brought us together…

And we live along side each other almost like roommates. Not soulmates.

We are guilty of falling into this pattern of rote too and so we have renewed our commitment to each other.

Schedule time alone, to work on the state of our “union”. Marriage maintenance is needed in nearly all relationships at some time. Come work on your marriage with us in the paradise of Quintana Roo.

If you feel the same way, (especially after covid!) and you’d like to renew your commitment to each other, fall back in love, reawaken old feelings and truly experience joy together again, ask us about the Getting the Love You Want weekend getaway in the tropical Caribbean island of Playa del Carmen!

Coronavirus notwithstanding, you can’t wait to work on your marriage until it’s dry and depleted…

That’s why we’ve planned a safe couples therapy getaway for you, with multiple Covid19 safety precautions, so that you don’t need to wait and can getaway now to do much needed work together.

The first retreat takes place from April 24-27, 2021 in Playa del Carmen just outside Cozumel.

Palmaï The House of AïA is a beautiful resort, and all guest suites have a terrace and are ocean front.  The marriage workshop will take work, but you and your spouse will walk away with the tools you need to understand one another better and communicate without blame or shame. Want to add a few more nights to your stay at the resort so you can enjoy all that this beautiful island has to offer? Just let us know and we’ll create a custom all-inclusive package for you.

Invite your spouse to join you on this journey together to become better partners for each other and improve your communication and understanding of one another.

Spend a weekend recommitting to your #couplegoals and actually achieve and create a beautiful future for your relationship together! An imago marriage counseling retreat in the Caribbean might be just the thing you both need to get your relationship back on track.

Why Imago Therapy?

Some individuals are very hard to persuade when and reluctant when it comes to couples counseling. We thought couples would feel more inclined to attend relationship therapy with their spouse if there was an incentive thrown in…like a vacation in paradise afterward.

• Infidelity recovery after cheating

Get To Know Your Getting the Love You Want ™ Workshop Leader

Jill Wolf

April 24-27, 2022 Workshop Presenter

Jill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (Illinois) and a member of the Academy of Clinical Social Workers (a national accreditation) with a Masters in Social Work from the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. 

In 1989, after seeing Harville Hendrix on The Oprah Winfrey Show, she attended his “Getting the Love You Want” workshop for couples. Jill said, “Like many wives, I dragged my reluctant husband to the workshop so that Harville could fix him. Soon I found out how much work I had to do. Of course, that was really a blessing in disguise, because I didn’t even like the person I had become in that marriage, but I didn’t know how not to be that. I was fascinated by the Imago theory and tools and realized it had immense potential benefit, both personally and professionally. I eagerly began training with Dr. Hendrix.”

Jill was certified as an Imago therapist by Dr. Hendrix in June of 1990, 1 of the first 5 therapists in the Chicago area to do so. Together with some of those colleagues, they founded the Institute for Imago Relationship Therapy of Greater Chicago, a professional training and support organization. She later went on to acquire more training, becoming a Certified Workshop Presenter for couples and singles, and an Advanced Clinician in Imago Therapy.

Jill has also trained with Pat Love, Ed.D. author of “Hot Monogamy.” Additionally, she has completed the initial training with Dr. John Gottman, author of “Seven Principles of Successful Marriages.” Jill trained under Dr. Steven Stosny and became certified to teach HEALS™, his groundbreaking anger management tool. Her private practice reflects the wisdom of these and other important mentors. Jill is also a “Faculty Associate for the Imago International Training Institute.” (IITI)
