Craving a deeper emotional and physical Connection with your partner?
Longing to bring back the love and affection you once shared with your husband or wife?
Experience a total marriage transformation at our Getting the Love You Want Marriage counseling retreats in the Arizona desert.
Go from having unproductive arguments and feeling alone in your relationship to…OMG now I understand what’s been causing unhealthy conflict all these years.
From doubting your choices and judgment to realizing you chose the perfect spouse to share your life with.
Voted by Brides Magazine as one of the best couples retreats in the world!
4 Days to work on your marriage and get back the loving, affectionate relationship you once shared…TOGETHER.
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 desert paradise of Arizona.
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 Arizona!
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.
Join us in 2023 at our next tropical retreat for Imago couples!
You’ll have time recharge and renew both your physical body on the beautiful beaches and luxury accommodations of Civana, a wellness + resort and spa in Phoenix and restore your spirit by revitalizing the connection between and the one you fell in love with all those years ago. Therapy will be work, but by the last few days you’re both going to experience a romantic couples getaway that wasn’t possible before imago therapy.
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 desert might be just the thing you both need to get your relationship back on track.
