What Couples are Saying about the Marriage Getaways

I was amazed with our Getaway! The cabins are designed to create a safe, comfortable, private space to have deep intimate conversations with your spouse.

The hospitality team went above and beyond to spoil our bellies and serve us with their kindness. And the facilitator's love, concern and passion for Christ-centered marriages was evident.

Every single detail was executed above and beyond, so that we didn’t have any distractions and could focus on each other and our marriage.

My wife and I came here to tune up our marriage of 3 years. Little did I know that it would impact me the way it did. My wife has appreciated a new level of intimacy and connection this weekend.

It is a blessing to develop some communication tools for our marriage.

Our hosts are amazing, great venue, great food, and many new friends. The teachers are amazing, helpful and knowledgeable. Loved this experience and the venue!

I loved this Marriage Getaway. It truly was impactful for my husband and me.

Food was amazing. God is here, and the place is beautiful and amazing.

The facilitators were very relatable and humorous.

We will be using all the tools we learned, and we plan on coming back every year!
