Marriage Intensive Weekend Retreat

Marriage is meant to be the most fun, heart warming, and enriching journey of your lifetime.  This journey is likely to take you over some of life’s steepest mountains and through some dark valleys, but ultimately it is a journey which will bring you far more enrichment, love and happiness than any other path could ever provide.

However sometimes married couples seem to veer off course and lose their way.  If you feel like you have lost your way in your journey together, or if you simply need some clarity and guidance on which direction your journey should continue from this point forward, we are here to help.  Our marriage intensive retreat can have a profound effect on the dynamics of your marriage and your relationship with each other.

Are you looking to rekindle and reawaken a fading love?   Maybe you feel like your love has long since faded, and you are exerting one last-ditch effort to save a crumbling marriage.  Perhaps you are just at a crossroads in your marriage, facing a major relationship decision and you need some help and professional guidance to help you through the process.  In either of these cases, our Marriage Intensive Retreat is exactly what you need to get your marriage and your relationship back on the right track.

Working on marriage relationships deserves the luxury of time and space.  There should be no time restraints or distractions to hold you back from achieving the breakthrough that you are looking for.  We have designed our marriage intensive retreats with that idea in mind.  During our three-day intensive you and your spouse will have our undivided attention.   Through three days of personal one-on-one counseling, my wife and I will work closely together with you and your spouse to reawaken your romantic feelings for each other, and to open the lines of communication that will bring breakthrough and release in your relationship.

The purpose of our three-day intensive marriage retreat is to support you and your spouse, to help you identify your personal relationship challenges and to help you work through them together.  We will teach you individual methods for dealing with the specific obstacles unique to your relationship.  You will understand which role you each will play in resolving these issues.  And you will discover the importance of standing together as one unit as well as the importance of being able to stand strong on your own two feet when necessary.  This will help to strengthen the relationship as a whole.

Of course our marriage intensives are not all business. Part of having a healthy and happy relationship is knowing when to have fun. Our practice is based out of Columbia Falls, Montana, aka. The Gateway To Glacier National Park. If having some fun is on your agenda, you could not ask for a better location than right here.

Your marriage intensive counseling will be conducted at our private cabin located about ten minutes outside the west entrance to Glacier National Park. Within a twenty-mile radius of our cabin you will find dozens of peaceful mountain lakes, rivers, hiking trails, snowmobile trails, horseback riding, Nordic trails and two fantastic alpine ski resorts. There will be plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the surroundings in between counseling sessions, if you so choose. Or you might decide to just stay inside the cabin beside the cozy fire and watch the deer that frequent the meadow.

A pleasant surprise for visitors to our area is the weather patterns. Summer temperatures range from the 70's to 80's. It is a dry-type of heat that just makes you feel good all over. Conversely winter temperatures range in the 20's to 30's it is also a dry kind of cold that is quite comfortable. Our weather patterns make your trip to northwest Montana enjoyable for sightseeing and outdoor activities any time of the year.

What you can expect from our Marriage Intensives:

The Marriage Intensive Retreat is held in our private cabin nestled in a quiet meadow between Columbia Falls and Glacier National Park in the beautiful northwest corner of Montana. You and your spouse will be meeting and working solely with me, (Dale Lee) and my wife Adi. All of our time, attention and counseling is focused directly on you and your spouse and your individual needs. We have chosen this approach to maximize the relational gains that you and your spouse will experience.

• The marriage retreat is a three day intensive that can be scheduled either over the weekend or during the week. Whichever works best for your schedule.
• The retreat consists of six counseling sessions each being two to three hours in length depending on your individual needs.
  
• Between the focus sessions you and your spouse will be able to process and reflect on the gains that you have made. Furthermore, you will experience a healing influence from the exceptional beauty of this area, which will settle your hearts and nourish your souls. There are a variety of outdoor activities and attractions to choose from, such as a drive to Glacier National Park or a visit to Big Mountain Ski and Summer Resort. Both are just a few minutes from our counseling cabin where you will be staying.
  
• Our 5 star (*****) romantic cabin will be all yours for the three days of your stay. My wife and I will join you at the cabin during the focus sessions, but after the sessions are over for the day, we will leave the cabin for you and your spouse to enjoy in peace, quiet, and romantic seclusion.
• Power & Compassion Counseling has a dedicated support team that pray while the intensive counseling is in session. The prayer covering and the effective counseling interventions provide the catalysts for relational and emotional breakthroughs. As each couple comes, we pray that it will be a devine appointment intended to transform their marriage.
