What Are Marriage Intensives?
Marriage intensives are a powerful, short-term format for couples counseling, specifically designed to achieve significant, accelerated progress far beyond the pace of traditional weekly therapy. Instead of squeezing hard conversations into a one‑hour session, couples get several days of uninterrupted time to really work on their relationship.
They provide a concentrated, distraction-free environment—held in a secluded, peaceful, and retreat-like setting—allowing couples to focus solely on their relationship. With that kind of space, counselors can move past the “surface stuff” quickly and get to the real issues underneath the tension or hurt.
Within this safe and focused space, complex marital challenges, including infidelity, chronic conflict, and issues related to addiction, can be comprehensively and effectively addressed in a way that feels compassionate, thorough, and hopeful.
What Can I Expect?
GROUP INTENSIVES
Our most sought-after retreat is our 4-day group intensive. This marriage intensive retreat is led by 2 licensed counselors trained to meet individuals and couples in the depths of trauma, infidelity, separation, unresolved communication and conflict, or in the throes of grief. Our groups are limited to 4 couples and includes one-on-one time with a therapist while you are there.
PRIVATE INTENSIVES
We also offer private intensives catered specifically to a client’s needs. Our private intensives are also led by 2 licensed counselors and typically are scheduled for 3 days depending on the couple’s journey.
LOCATION
WinShape Retreat
ROME, GEORGIA
This set-apart location is tucked away in the forests of North Georgia. The French countryside-inspired design sets the stage to rest, heal, and be inspired to walk into something new.
For decades this location has been covered in prayer, which is why many of its visitors have commented that they feel as though they are walking on holy ground.
This is a space you can slow down, breathe, and focus on the things that matter most. You will experience an environment free of judgement and outside noise creating a “safe harbor” to be seen, heard and guided by our counselors.
