WHY DO A SOLO INTENSIVE?
It is not uncommon for one spouse to be ready to move forward with the process of reconciliation while the other spouse is not yet ready. When this happens, hope is not lost. A crucial component of every marriage recovery is the work that each spouse must do individually. If your spouse is not yet ready to obtain counseling with you or you have a desire to work on your concerns individually, a Solo Intensive will provide the tools and support you need to get you solidly on the road to recovery. Instead of taking months or even years to figure things out on your own or dig through the past in counseling, our team will take a laser-sharp approach to get to the heart of the matter and provide you with a custom plan.
With our Solo Marriage Intensive, we provide a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing environment where you will discover that you are not alone in your struggles, begin a robust and effective plan for self-development, and receive tools and proven strategies to turn your marriage around with daily application when you return home.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Here is what you can expect from your Solo Marriage Intensive:
