Why Our Marriage Intensive Retreat in Colorado Works
Our retreats are grounded in Imago Relationship Therapy, an approach that transforms conflict into connection.
Rather than focusing on who’s right or wrong, Imago helps you uncover the deeper unmet needs and patterns that fuel disconnection.
Founded by Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin, MS, LCPC, Certified Imago Therapist and Workshop Presenter, and co-founder Rivka Slatkin, our intensives blend empathy, neuroscience, and relationship science for deep, lasting change.
You’ll learn to listen without defensiveness, speak without blame, and create the emotional safety that every healthy marriage needs.
Couples who attend leave with renewed hope — and a concrete plan for staying connected long after the retreat ends.
Remember, a degree in social work, psychology, or sociology does not qualify someone as a specialized couples counselor or marriage therapist. You would not want your family physician to perform brain surgery, just as you should not let someone without experience and qualifications lead you and your partner in counseling. Lucky for you, we have an experienced couples counselor and Imago therapist right around the corner on 5th Avenue. Contact us to join a marriage weekend workshop, make reservations for a couples retreat, or get help bringing it up with your partner or spouse.

What Makes Imago Therapy Retreats So Transformational
If you want marriage counseling that will actually work and not make things worse, think about attending a marriage intensive or marriage retreat. After working for over a decade in the field of marriage counseling, we noticed that couples wanting to fix their marriage can’t possibly achieve the total transformation that they want in once a week 50-90 minute sessions. 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 for their marriage counseling needs.
This intensive marriage counseling format works, and that’s why Rabbi and Rivka Slatkin, Baltimore natives, have over 20 years’ of real marriage retreat reviews and testimonials from couples all over Colorado and the rest of the globe, after having gone through successful marriage counseling that worked to fix their marriage.
It’s easy to pick the couples counselor closest to your home—the one who takes your insurance and is just a short drive away. But your marriage is the most precious relationship you have, and choosing a therapist based only on insurance or zip code often leads to frustration and minimal progress.
The truth is, the best-rated relationship therapists and Imago marriage intensive specialists are often out of network. That’s why it’s worth being open to finding the right fit, even if that means joining an online couples therapy retreat. (Our marriage intensives are available both online and in-person, giving you flexible, private options wherever you live.)
In many cases, you can still submit your receipts for partial reimbursement from insurance, but even if you can’t, remember this: divorce costs far more—financially, emotionally, and spiritually—than therapy ever will. Investing in an intensive marriage counseling retreat is one of the most important and life-changing choices you can make for your relationship.
Affair Recovery & Infidelity Counseling for Colorado Couples
If your relationship has been shaken by betrayal or emotional disconnection, our Affair Recovery and Infidelity Counseling offers a clear, compassionate path to healing.
Using the Imago framework, couples learn how to:
Rebuild trust and safety after betrayal.
Navigate disclosure with honesty and structure.
Reconnect emotionally and physically at a pace that feels right.
Many couples from Colorado Springs, Boulder, Longmont, and Denver choose this retreat as a last chance to repair their bond — and find that rebuilding is not only possible, but transformative.
Can you really trust your marriage counselor?
What You Should Know Before You Decide to Work with a Marriage Counselor.
Most general therapists aren’t equipped to navigate the emotional intensity of working with two people in conflict. Without specialized training, those sessions can quickly escalate, reopen old wounds, or leave couples feeling more distant.
If your goal is to stay together and truly rebuild your connection, you need an expert who specializes in relationship repair. Our Imago marriage intensive near me in Longmont, Colorado provides a structured, evidence-based process that helps you move from blame to understanding—often achieving breakthroughs in just two days.
Based in Longmont, we serve couples from Boulder, Denver, Loveland, and across the Front Range through both in-person and online Imago therapy retreats.
If you’re ready to restore trust and communication, contact us today to begin your intensive marriage counseling retreat and take the next step toward lasting restoration.
Couples looking for a couples retreat near me in Longmont choose our program for its balance of structure and privacy. Whether you want a marriage intensive weekend, an intensive marriage counseling retreat near you, or a retreat for couples to reconnect, our Longmont/Boulder location delivers guided sessions, practical tools, and follow-up support—one of the best marriage counseling retreats in Colorado for lasting change.
What Happens During the 2-Day Couples Weekend 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.
Your Couples Weekend Retreat follows a proven three-part process designed to produce lasting breakthroughs:
Day 1:
Identify the negative cycles and triggers that keep you stuck.
Learn new communication tools rooted in the Imago Dialogue.
Begin rebuilding emotional safety and mutual understanding.
Day 2:
Practice guided dialogues with real-time support.
Heal past wounds and rediscover appreciation for your partner.
Create a clear roadmap for continued connection at home.
After the Retreat:
You’ll receive 8 follow-up integration sessions to help reinforce the tools and keep progress on track.
Most couples say they accomplish more in this weekend than in six months of weekly therapy.
Success Stories
We wanted to express our deep appreciation for your private couples retreat. Your gentle nature and subtle guidance provided a safe environment to share our experiences, concerns and hopes for our relationship. During the retreat both myself and my husband were able to gain a better understanding of our thoughts and feelings and how to channel them to a deeper level of engagement in our relationship. Your retreat provided us with the tools for calm and effective communication with an emphasis on acts of kindness and connection. The opportunity to feel heard by our spouse, and to observe the impact that feeling heard had on our spouse, was the greatest gift.
We feel blessed to have met you.

It’s easy to choose a couples counselor nearest you, one that takes your insurance and is closest to your zip code. Your marriage is the most precious relationship that you have so choosing a couples counselor solely based on your insurance and your zip code does not serve you and your partner well.
You will likely find that the best-rated relationship therapists are out of network, and not covered by your insurance and that’s why it’s important for you to be open to finding the best- even if you have to take your therapy and do it online (our marriage intensives are often online). In most cases, you can send your insurance the bills and request that they consider covering the costs, which sometimes helps offset the cost. To be clear though, divorce is much more expensive both financially and emotionally than therapy. It’s worth it to save your marriage.

Can you really trust your marriage counselor?
What You Should Know Before You Decide to Work with a Marriage Counselor.
Most general therapists and counselors are not equipped to handle the dynamic of working with two people in a room. Conflict escalates quickly if not headed off skillfully, and therapy sessions like that can do more damage than good. That’s because traumatic counseling sessions may uncover old wounds and increase communication barriers rather than promote healing. Some counselors even encourage divorce, for lack of a better solution. You are coming in to make your marriage better, restore your romantic relationship, or to save it in general. A professional should never tell you that there is no hope for your marriage if both parties want to save it. There are hundreds of licensed MFT couples therapists in Colorado, and we hope you give us a chance to help you save your relationship. If your goal is to stay together, save your marriage, and fix your relationship problems, our 2 day marriage retreat with intensive therapy should be your next step toward marriage restoration. We are located on 16427 Avalanche Run just north of Colorado Springs, Colorado in Woodland Park. We provide counseling for couples across the greater Colorado Springs metropolitan area. Contact us online or call (720) 449-4123 now to get started.Colorado Springs CO Cities Where we Provide Couples Counseling
