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 is hard. It takes work. It takes staying committed in a world that says, "If I'm not happy, I'm outta here." Yet, none of us marries with the idea that it won't last. We get married thinking our relationship will be different. We're in love and plan to live happily ever after. That lasts about a week-and-a-half.
Instead, marriage is like God's sandpaper. It exposes our basic selfishness and all our rough edges. But if we let God teach us where we need to grow and change ... if we learn to forgive ... if we learn what it means to give grace to one another ... if we stay committed through the good times and the bad, marriage can be one of God's greatest gifts.
Perhaps you or someone you know is married to an unbeliever. While it can be challenging, the Bible can help you live in that situation. That's our subject for today.
