Private Couples Retreat Program in Fort Lauderdale
Our intensive therapy work for couples has been featured in national blogs and papers such as the Huffington Post, Redbook Magazine, Readers Digest, Psychology Today, Bustle, The Good Men Project, and many more.
Just because someone advertises that they see couples, does NOT mean that they have any expertise in the area. A social work degree or a psychology degree, does not make one trained in the extremely specialized and delicate work of marriage counseling.
Just as you wouldn’t go to your general practitioner for an operation, you wouldn’t want to go to a general therapist to save your marriage.
The future of your family and peace of mind is at stake. Lucky for you, a nationally renowned program is right around the corner.
Our goal is simple: help you understand each other again. Through calm, constructive dialogue, you’ll rediscover empathy, safety, and the joy of partnership.
How Our 2-Day Imago Marriage Intensive Works
Our 2-Day Imago Marriage Intensive is a focused, private experience designed to help you achieve months of progress in just one weekend. Using the proven Imago Relationship Therapy framework, we guide you and your partner through structured dialogue that transforms conflict into connection. Over two full days, you’ll identify the root causes of recurring issues, rebuild empathy, and practice new communication tools in real time. The result is a clear, calm, and compassionate foundation for lasting change — supported by follow-up sessions to help your breakthroughs stick long after the retreat ends.
Reconnect and Heal Through Private, Expert-Led Counseling
Since your marriage is your most important relationship, you’ll want to make sure you set yourself up for success by choosing the best counselor for your marriage, not the closest or the cheapest counselor.
If you want marriage counseling that will actually work and not make things worse, think about attending a marriage intensive or marriage retreat.
Our Ft Lauderdale marriage counseling office is located near Keiser University near many good restaurants and shops. We also offer financing options for couples who need an intensive marriage retreat with bootcamp style counseling but are having difficulty with payment.
Usually, the best rated relationship therapists are out of network. There are many therapists you can choose from here in Florida. We hope that you will consider our “No Blame, No Shame” approach to marriage counseling that we’ve been using successfully with couples for over a decade.
Our Imago relationship therapist has served the Fort Lauderdale community as a licensed marriage and family therapist for 20 years. It’s almost impossible for couples struggling with relationship problems to achieve the total transformation they want at a once weekly, 50 to 90 minute therapy session. By the time you sit down and talk with each other and with the therapist, your time is up.
That’s why, here at The Marriage Restoration Project, we only see couples in a 2 day marriage intensive format online or in-person for their marriage counseling needs.
This intensive marriage counseling format works, and that’s why founders Rabbi and Rivka Slatkin, have dozens of excellent, real marriage retreat reviews and testimonials from couples all over the United States.
The Marriage Restoration Project has been featured on many news outlets, and published across the web including HuffPost, Bustle, GoodMenProject, and Medium.

Why Couples Choose Our Marriage Intensive Weekend
What You Should Know Before Choosing a Marriage Counselor
Marriage counseling can truly make or break a relationship — and unfortunately, not every therapist is trained to help couples navigate the complex emotional dynamics that come with two people in conflict. Without the right approach, sessions can unintentionally make things worse, stirring up old pain without offering a clear path toward healing. Some counselors even suggest separation or divorce simply because they lack the tools to help couples repair and reconnect.
You’re coming to therapy because you want hope, not more hurt. The last thing you need is to sit with a professional who doesn’t believe your marriage can be saved.
Here in Florida, there are countless options for marriage counselors — but it’s crucial to choose someone who fully supports your goal to stay together and who uses methods proven to restore connection. That’s exactly what our Private 2-Day Marriage Restoration Retreat offers. Using the transformative power of Imago Relationship Therapy, we help you uncover the real root of your struggles, rebuild empathy, and practice safe, structured dialogue that changes the way you communicate for good.
If you want marriage counseling that actually works — and helps you rediscover each other again — our Fort Lauderdale retreat offers a private, focused environment to begin your healing journey.
Affair Recovery and Infidelity Counseling in Fort Lauderdale
Rebuilding trust after betrayal requires more than time — it requires structure, honesty, and expert guidance. Our Affair Recovery and Infidelity Counseling in Fort Lauderdale provides couples with a safe, private environment to process what happened, understand why it occurred, and begin the journey toward repair. Using the Imago Relationship Therapy framework, we help both partners communicate with openness and accountability, transforming pain into an opportunity for deeper connection.
What to Expect from Your Intensive Marriage Counseling Retreat
My name is Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Certified Imago Relationships Therapist (Advanced Clinician). I’ve put together a tried and true formula for you so that that you can feel optimistic and hopeful again about enjoying a marriage that is respectful, supportive, and healthy. It would be a privilege to work with you and support you in effectively bringing back clarity and love into your relationship.
If you’re experiencing difficulties in your marriage, you NEED to have an intensive experience in order to create a breakthrough for your relationship.
And it is also crucial to have followup to integrate what you’ve learned so that your results will be long lasting- which is what you want!
Unlike a marriage workshop where you participate in a group setting with other couples, the retreat will give the privacy you need to deal with some of the most painful and personal issues you are facing in your relationship.
The Marriage Restoration Retreat is two full days of marital therapy, plus 8 follow-up sessions in person or online. If you’re in crisis, the first thing that you are looking for is the hope that your relationship can be better. Weekly sessions, which are normally only 50 minutes with other therapists, will often take a while to get you to a better place, and that’s provided that you have the stamina and resources to stick it out!
Couples leave our 2 Day Retreat with newfound hope for their relationship, an understanding of what went wrong, and new skills to move forward.
Filled with momentum and new commitment to your relationship, you’ve accomplished what would take in 6 months of therapy. All the resistance is gone and now you can do the real work to make your marriage wonderful in our 8 follow up sessions.
You’ll experience guided dialogue, structured exercises, and follow-up support. Many call it one of the best marriage counseling retreats in Florida because progress that takes months in regular sessions often happens in one weekend.

Can you really trust your marriage counselor?
What You Should Know Before Choosing an Marriage & Family Therapist.
Marriage Counseling can be a matter of life or death for your relationship. Many counselors are not equipped to handle the dynamic of working with two people in a room. Unless dealt with in a skillful way, conflict can escalate and the sessions can do more damage than good- stirring up old hurt and not offering constructive solutions for healing. Some couples counselors encourage divorce, for lack of a better solution. You are coming in to make your marriage better or to save it. The last thing you want to hear is that the professional can’t help you! When it comes to marriage counselors FL has many options. It’s important to choose a couples therapist who supports your goals for your relationship. If your goal is to stay together and fix your marriage problems, our Private 2 day Marriage Restoration Retreat is for you. In this immersive retreat (aka marriage bootcamp) we use imago couples therapy to help you discover the root cause of your relationship and communication problems. Then you relearn how to communicate and really hear each other. Imago relationship therapy works! We are located in the heart of Fort Lauderdale in Florida.
