overview of An intensive
Our marriage intensives are for couples who find themselves stuck and looking for ways to help progress in their relationship. The Intensive format has 8 hours of focused counseling sessions over a 2 day period, and then 2 hours of follow-up afterwards. The warm, safe, grace-filled, and concentrated environment helps break down communication obstacles, uncover hidden barriers, and move participants quickly to core issues.
Cultivating Relationships is a powerful model of therapeutic soul care. They are a relational, healing space for couples to explore and engage the impact of their cycles of hurt, betrayal, hopelessness, and disconnection. It will provide time and space for you to enjoy a healing and romantic retreat, while working to rekindle passion and intimacy by shaping your relationship into a more secure loving bond.
Cultivating a garden takes time and effort. We believe the same is true for relationships. Our Intensives are a revolutionary way to repair your relationship through a one-on-one counseling retreat. Through their many years of working with couples, Chris and Christine realized 1 hour a week for 8-10 weeks could be too difficult to schedule and too slow for some seeking to repair or enrich their relationship. This is why Cultivating Relationships was born!
Intensive Options
Marriage Enrichment Intensives use the Intensive approach to dig up hidden issues, helping couples in a “good-enough” marriage move toward a deeper, healthier, more intimate connection. This is for couples who feel the need to reconnect and work on a specific area of concern.
The Spiritual Recovery Intensive is a specially-designed therapeutic retreat for pastors, ministers, or lay leaders who need care from spiritual wounding or burn-out, or ministry couples who are finding marriage difficult.

““Marriage is only as good as the investment people make in it. God has constructed life so that we are always either going forward into the growth process or backing away from it. We can’t stay the same. And marriage reflects this reality.””
