What makes the Marriage Breakthrough Retreat different:

In the years we've done marriage ministry, we've discovered that intentional, intimate, strategic time away together can create positive "breakthroughs" for couples.

We've taken the best practices we've learned from our experience to craft a one-of-a-kind marriage retreat.

Capped at only 25 couples to ensure an intimate, personalized experience, we invite you to join us in beautiful Augusta, GA for a weekend that could bring renewed passion and vision to your marriage.

tension or distance → clarity, direction, and renewed intimacy

going through the motions → actually being excited about your future together

"The Marriage Breakthrough Retreat with Dave and Ashley was a turning point for our marriage, giving us the confidence to write our first book.

Every couple could benefit from this experience!"

FAQs

We've designed this weekend to bring enrichment and growth to any couple in any stage of marriage. Whether you're newlywed, a retired couple, or somewhere in between, you will experience growth and deeper connection.
While The Marriage Breakthrough Retreat could benefit couples in crisis, this is not a crisis retreat. For couples in crisis, we recommend the "Hope Restored" intensives hosted by Focus on the Family, the intensives hosted by the WinShape Foundation, and/or the intensives offered by the XO Institute.
The cost is $1750 per couple. We believe this investment in your marriage will pay dividends for many years to come.
Lodging and travel expenses to and from Augusta are not included in the price.
After your registration, we'll send an email with travel and lodging suggestions.
We'll start each day around 8:30 a.m. with a catered breakfast and have activities until around 4 p.m.
Your evenings will be free to enjoy with your spouse.
We host our events in the beautiful Cotton Exchange Building in downtown Augusta situated next to the Riverwalk along the Savannah River and within walking distance of several popular restaurants and attractions.
