Wherever you are in your marriage, you can take it to the next level with a Bible-based marriage retreat. At a Joyful Marriages, marriage retreat, couples will get away and work on some of the most common marriage issues like communication, conflict resolution, growth in intimacy, and help understanding why we respond as we do at times. You’ll also enjoy beautiful accommodations and time spent with a small group and alone as a couple.
My husband and I will be leading the retreats. He is a pastor and biblical counselor. And I’m a biblical counselor, certified through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.
For those who don’t know us, we started and ran a biblical counseling center for twelve years and have been counseling couples for twenty-plus years. We hope you will join us for one of these encouraging and helpful getaways.
Retreats include:
Two-nights in a beautiful B&B (see photos below) just outside Ruidoso, New Mexico
Private room & bath, each with its own whirlpool
All but one meal included (that evening is reserved for a date night)
All materials
Biblically based marriage sessions
One-on-one follow-up with each couple, if desired
The next scheduled marriage retreat is October 20-22. Regular price is $600 per couple. But because of a scholarship provided by a generous donor, we can offer this retreat for only $350 per couple, meals and accommodations included as listed above.

Marriage can be one of the greatest human relationships there is. It can offer companionship, friendship, intimacy, and someone to rely on through the ups and downs of life. But sometimes marriage isn't what you expected. Often marriage will test you in ways you weren't prepared for.
The Wife's Role: If there is one aspect of marriage that is often turned upside-down in today's culture, it's the roles of husbands and wives. If there's one issue that is usually part and parcel of marriage conflict, it's the roles of husbands and wives. If there is one subject that is most often misunderstood, it's this one.
Today we'll talk about weaving, two becoming one. This one-flesh relationship includes the sexual aspect of marriage, but it is much more. Wayne Mack in his book Strengthening Your Marriage says, "Marriage is a total commitment and a total sharing of the total person with another person until death." The marriage act should be a symbol of a more complete oneness.
