Two Day Marriage Intensives for Couples
Join me for a two day marriage intensive
In Imago Relationship Therapy, we also examine the adaptations, coping mechanisms and unconscious or distorted beliefs that may inadvertently prevent us from achieving the connection we desire with our partner.
This intensive offers a comprehensive exploration of:
- how to communicate without criticism
- move beyond the repetitive cycles of unproductive dialogue
- and develop a plan for building a conscious and intentional relationship
Building a Conscious and
Intentional Relationship
Regardless of where you are in the repair process; initial disclosure, navigating a long standing power struggle, or somewhere in between, this intensive offers a structured therapeutic framework to help both partners share and understand each other's perspectives.
During this intensive our focus will center on:
- exploring how the relationship arrived at this point
- identifying the factors that contributed to its vulnerability
- and using this period of pain as purposeful insight to determine how you can move forward together
Affair Recovery
Passion Recovery
Each couple must find their own balance between the comfort and stability of shared domestic life and the vitality, sexuality and sense of novelty that first drew them together.
This intensive is designed for couples seeking to:
- reclaim elements of the early romantic stage that may have been overshadowed by daily responsibilities
- discovering new pathways to connections and intimacy that have yet to be explored or fully nurtured
Imago is both a tool set and mindset for a new way to love.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a marriage intensive for couples?
A marriage intensive is a private, therapist-led, two-day couples therapy retreat designed to accomplish in approximately 2 consecutive days what traditional weekly therapy often takes months to achieve. Weekly counseling frequently loses energy and effectiveness between sessions, leaving couples stuck reenacting the same dance and power struggle. A marriage intensive eliminates that stop-and-start cycle by creating a structured, private environment where new communication skills are utilized and facilitated to immediately assist the couple to Utilizing the Imago Relationship Theory and Method, this researched proven effective therapeutic approach is tailored entirely to one couple, allowing years of conflict or the devastation of an affair to be addressed directly and effectively in a two day private experience.
Is this religious in nature?
No, while your particular religious or spiritual life and how it lives within your partnership is personal to each couplehood and can be part of the conversation, this intensive is not religiously based.
Is virtual an option?
Yes, while I prefer to offer you the benefit of my carefully curated space away from your daily life, sometimes virtual is the best option at the time. I ask that you consciously secure a consistently private and uninterrupted space, for the best use of time in your virtual intensive retreat!
What is appropriate attire?
WHATEVER you are comfortable in! There is a lot of sitting so dress accordingly! We will be primarily in my office but will utilize some other private spaces down the hall for a change of seating and scenery. All private and uninterrupted.
Will there be assistance for travel, accomodations, recommendations for local attractions if we are coming from out of town?
Yes. Having lived in the area for over 30 years me and my team can assist with travel whether you are coming solely for the workshop or would like to add some time to enjoy Wilmington's city or 10 miles away Wrightsville Beach!
