The Meaning of a Weekend Couples Counseling Retreat or a Marriage Boot Camp?
A weekend marriage retreat is an intense form of couples counseling that takes place in two, three or even five days in a row. During each day, the couple will explore the various issues in their marriage and work with a relationship counselor to create a plan for resolution.
The retreat also encourages people to look at themselves individually. When a person is honest about his/her flaws, he/she will take more of an active role in bettering the marriage. The goal of the retreat is to improve the way that couples communicate and understand each other. This can lead to increased intimacy, a deeper friendship and a determination to build a beautiful future together.
Relationship Issues That Intensives Can Tackle Head on
A marriage retreat can address a number of important issues. Couples who are trying to heal after a traumatic or emotionally scarring event can benefit from a marriage retreat. For instance, if one or both spouse is having difficulty communicating effectively, parenting issues or even a lack of connection.
Couples who have gone through infidelity can also improve their relationship by going to a marriage retreat. Various exercises and counseling sessions can uncover the reasons for the infidelity and how to avoid this in the future. The retreat can also give couples effective methods for healing from the sadness, anger and mistrust that can occur as a result of an affair.
A marriage retreat also teaches couples how to express themselves without always having heated arguments. Couples deal with a variety of issues, including how to spend money and how to raise children. When spouses realize to respect and appreciate each other’s differences, this leads to more harmony in the home and a deeper love for one another.
Since a number of issues need to be addressed in a short amount of time, weekend couples counseling is often intense. Spending a weekend undergoing this type of counseling can assist couples in improving their love lives and learning to trust each other. Some couples harbor feelings of resentment for various reasons, and these feelings cause disconnection and a lack of communication, which is pushing the couple further apart. Counseling prompts both partners to uncover their own issues with love, acceptance and control, so that the couple can learn to work together to create a marriage that is healthy and beneficial for both parties.
Going to a retreat that is in a beautiful setting is also helpful. When couples have the opportunity to take nature walks together, spend time at the beach or participate in other outdoor activities, it can inspire a sense of togetherness. Getting away from the daily routine of life and enjoying nature helps some couples to relax their minds and focus on one another without distractions.
A Marriage Retreat is Recommended in Good or Bad Times?
If you know there are issues in your relationship that you want to fix, this could also be a sign that you should attend a marriage retreat. If you and your spouse are arguing more than usual or feel distant from each other, a retreat can remind you why you decided to marry one another. This can reignite your passion for each other and help you to change the way you think about conflict.
Non-Religious Marital Retreat or a Christian Retreat?
While both Christian and non-religious marriage retreats can be beneficial, the methods used at these retreats are different. At a Christian marriage retreat, you’ll learn how to strengthen your marriage based on Biblical principles. Christian marriage counseling emphasizes the notion that God will provide the insight and wisdom necessary for a healthy marriage.
However, couples must apply these principles in order for them to work. The Bible outlines the roles of men and women in marriage, and Christian marriage counselors will emphasize these principles as a way to give couples guidelines for how to handle disagreements. Christian marriage retreats also emphasize the responsibility that couples have to be a positive influence on their families and communities through the covenant of marriage.
Non-religious marriage retreats also provide guidelines that couples can use to grow closer. The Bible and other religious writings are not part of the counseling curriculum.
Methods that encourage a new way of thinking about intimacy and togetherness can also be effective for some couples. Couples are encouraged to look inside themselves to find the determination and courage to make the marriage work for them.
