What Happens During the Weekend

Over the course of the weekend you will experience:

  • Clear teaching sessions
    You’ll learn how attachment patterns shape the conflict cycles couples often get stuck in.

  • Guided couple conversations
    Throughout the weekend you and your spouse will engage in a series of structured conversations designed to help you understand each other more deeply.

  • Private breakout spaces
    Each couple has time to talk privately. Sharing what you’ve learned with the group is optional.

  • Support from licensed Christian counselors
    EFT-trained therapists circulate during the exercises to help if you feel stuck or need guidance.

  • Stories and demonstrations
    Short clinical videos and real examples illustrate how couples move from conflict to connection.
