Certain research has shown that marriage counseling is not as effective as it once was. Maybe the reason for this is that one-hour a week counseling sessions are not very effective for most struggling marriages. A proven alterative to marriage counseling is Christian Marriage Counseling Retreats. Let’s face it…if you needed major surgery would you want your doctor to do the surgery only one hour a week? Of course not! That’s why Christian Marriage Retreats are so effective. Retreats offer couples who are in need of counseling a three day week-end of intense healing for they’re marriage.

Trying to solve all your marital problems in one hour, weekly sessions is almost impossible. It usually takes a full hour just to arrive at the root of your problems. Consequently, this often just opens up old wounds and the couples just end up feeling hopeless and discouraged.

Usually by the end of a week-end at a Christian Marriage Counseling Retreat, most couples leave with their issues resolved. Their relationships are reconciled and the barriers are removed. They leave the Christian marriage Retreat with a set of tools, skills and know-how to sustain and create a healthy marriage.

Christian Marriage Counseling Retreats use a biblical, guided approach that seems to be a powerful format in helping couples who are feeling hopeless and stuck in their marriage.

One popular Christian Marriage Counseling Retreat is “Cornerstone”. They focus on saving and strengthening marriages by providing Counseling retreats, workshops, and practical Christian marriage counseling.  Cornerstone helps couples to overcome the challenges that affect their marriages, whether it’s infidelity issues, unresolved conflict, or the stress and pressures of life.

Another source for Christian Marriage Counseling is “Marriage Rescue Associates”. The kind of Christian Marriage Counseling they offer is called a Marriage Intensive. Marriage Intensives is counseling for 3 to 5 days in a row. They offer both Private and Small Group Marriage Intensives. The Marriage Intensives are designed especially for couples in crisis–couples who are really struggling and need intense help as soon as possible.

The National Institute of Marriage is another good source of Christian Marriage Counseling. They provide curriculum for couples, small groups, military couples, counselors and therapists.

Experience shows that when you attend a Christian Marriage Counseling Retreat with an open-mind and a willing spirit, you can expect miracles. With God nothing is impossible. Thousands of couples have been helped through Christian Marriage Counseling Retreats. They have been rewarded with a marriage that is healthy, successful, intimate, caring and loving.
