Is a Marriage Retreat Right for You? Take Our Self-Assessment Quiz

If you’re here, you’re probably wondering:
Would a marriage retreat actually help us? Or is it too late—or too soon?

This self-assessment quiz will help you find out if a marriage retreat is the right next step for your relationship. Whether you’re facing communication breakdowns, rebuilding after infidelity, or simply feeling distant and disconnected, this quick marriage retreat quiz will point you in the right direction.

What Is a Marriage Retreat, Exactly?

A marriage retreat (also known as a couples therapy retreat or intensive) is a focused, private experience with a licensed therapist—designed to help you make rapid progress in your relationship over just a few days.

Instead of dragging out weekly sessions for months, couples retreats compress the work into 2–5 days of deep, uninterrupted focus. It’s like six months of counseling in a weekend.

Take the Quiz: Is a Marriage Retreat Right for You?

For each question, answer Yes or No.

Communication & Conflict

  • Do you and your partner keep having the same arguments over and over again?
  • Do small issues often turn into big fights-or the silent treatment?
  • Do you struggle to feel truly heard or understood by your partner?

Emotional Connection

  • Do you feel emotionally disconnected or lonely, even when you’re in the same room?
  • Has your relationship started to feel more like roommates than soulmates?
  • Are there unspoken hurts or resentments that make it hard to move forward?

Trust & Repair

  • Has there been a breach of trust (infidelity, lies, secrecy) that you haven’t fully healed from?
  • Do you want to rebuild trust, but don’t know how to begin?
  • Are you unsure whether to stay together or separate—but wish you had clarity?

Readiness & Commitment

  • Are you both committed to improving the relationship, even if it feels hard?
  • Are you open to learning new ways of communicating and connecting?
  • Would you benefit from uninterrupted time away from daily stressors to focus on your marriage?

Scoring Your Results

Count how many “Yes” answers you had:

  • 8–12 Yeses → You’re an ideal fit for a marriage retreat. You’re facing real challenges, but you’re open and ready to do the work.
  • 4–7 Yeses → A retreat could be highly beneficial. If both partners are willing, this is a great opportunity to prevent further damage and reconnect.
  • 0–3 Yeses → You may not need a full retreat right now. A short check-in session, self-paced course, or couples coaching might be a better place to start.

Here’s what sets us apart:

Grounded in Proven Couples Therapy

Our retreats are rooted in Imago Relationship Therapy, a time-tested and research-backed model that helps couples transform conflict into connection. We don’t just talk about problems—we show you how to repair them in real time with practical tools you can use at home.

A 5-Step Process That Works

Our founder, Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin, LCPC, developed a powerful 5-step framework after working with thousands of couples on the brink of divorce. This isn’t guesswork—it’s a step-by-step system for helping you:

  1. Interrupt destructive patterns
  2. Understand your partner at a deeper level
  3. Rebuild emotional safety
  4. Practice new ways of communicating
  5. Reconnect with your purpose as a couple

Each retreat is personalized to meet your unique needs, whether you’re recovering from betrayal, rebuilding after years of silence, or simply feeling stuck.

Support That Continues After the Retreat

Healing doesn’t stop when the retreat ends—and neither do we.
Included in your retreat package are follow-up sessions with your therapist to help you integrate what you’ve learned and continue growing together. We’re with you every step of the way.
