LAST CHANCE
WEEKENDS
One Weekend Can Change Life & Marriage
Last Chance Weekend (LCW) is designed for couples who want results now. The program is created for you to experience healing, conquer conflict, improve communication, build intimacy, and achieve restoration in your marriage.
The Last Chance Weekend is led by Hasani and Danielle Pettiford who, over the past 15 years, have worked with thousands of couples. Along with their incredible team of coaches, they bring insight, transformation, and restoration to couples struggling from betrayal.
The Total Investment For The Last Chance Weekend Is $6500
Give your marriage a fighting chance!
The Last Chance Weekend is a 3-day intensive designed for couples who have reached their breaking point. Maybe there has been an infidelity, a separation, or the threat of divorce. Perhaps your situation is so unique that traditional weekly sessions wouldn’t even scratch the surface. Whatever has brought a crisis to the doorstep of your marriage, Couples Academy provides a holistic, coaching-based approach to get your relationship on the road to recovery.
Why a 3-day intensive instead of months of weekly sessions?
Weekly appointments spread real work out over months, with momentum lost between every session and a crisis that keeps evolving faster than the schedule allows. A 3-day intensive works differently: concentrated, uninterrupted time with your coach, a safe and facilitated environment built specifically for couples in crisis, and a clear stabilization plan you leave with — not another appointment card for six weeks out.
You’ll participate in a combination of individual and group sessions, hear from other couples who have faced similar crises in their marriages, and work through your issues in privacy with your coach.
While nearly everyone has initial concerns about the group format, couples who go through the experience consistently say it became one of the most valuable parts of the weekend. Our team of coaches makes sure attendees are comfortable throughout the process and are never required to do anything they don’t wish to do.
WHAT'S COVERED:
Our Last Chance Weekend is unique because of the coaching we offer and how we conduct our sessions. We use experiential learning elements and guided activities to give couples an experience that produces rapid transformation.
Where traditional weekly sessions can take about eight months to work through deep-rooted issues, we work through the most challenging relationship issues — betrayal, intimacy, communication, trust, finances, and family — in as little as three days.
We go deep into every aspect of your relationship. Anything you’re willing to bring to this experience, we will address and work to overcome together.

It’s common for one spouse to feel hesitant or unsure. Last Chance Weekend is designed to meet couples exactly where they are — you don’t need both partners fully committed to begin, just willing to show up. Many couples arrive with one partner unsure and leave with both fully engaged in the process.
