Weekend Marriage Intensives provide couples with the opportunity to step away from the distractions of daily life and focus intentionally on their relationship in a structured, supportive environment. These extended sessions are ideal for couples experiencing high levels of distress, navigating betrayal or infidelity, feeling stuck in recurring conflict, or wanting to make meaningful progress more quickly than traditional weekly therapy allows.

Our intensives are led by a doctoral-level psychologist with Gottman Level 3 training, representing advanced certification in one of the most research-supported approaches to couples therapy. The Gottman Method is grounded in decades of research on what helps relationships succeed and focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, reducing conflict patterns, and strengthening emotional connection.

During a marriage intensive, couples can expect a comprehensive assessment of relationship strengths and areas of growth, structured therapeutic interventions tailored to your specific concerns, and practical tools to help you navigate difficult conversations more effectively. This format allows for deeper work, real-time coaching, and the opportunity to interrupt negative cycles that can be difficult to address in shorter sessions.

Weekend intensives typically include multiple extended sessions across one or two days and may incorporate assessment feedback, communication skill building, conflict management strategies, and personalized recommendations to support continued progress after the intensive.

This service is ideal for couples who are highly motivated for change, those with demanding schedules, or those who prefer a more concentrated and private approach to relationship work.
