Are you ready to join us for a transformative weekend where you can strengthen your marriage, reconnect with your spouse, and reignite your relationship in a peaceful, natural setting? Our Time for Us couples retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation, growth, and adventure during a beautiful time of the year to enjoy nature. From October 25-27, 2024, plan to join us in MS. Choose your lodging at Getaway House or the campgrounds of Homochitto State Park. While lodging is on your own, the retreat experience includes guided hikes, workshops, meals, and workbooks.
One of the highlights of the retreat is exploring nature together. Hiking provides a physical challenge and a unique opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with each other and the world around you. Walking through beautiful landscapes encourages meaningful conversations, deepens emotional bonds, and reduces stress—all of which contribute to a stronger relationship. Going on a guided hike minimizes the risk of injury, aids in a more positive experience, and allows you to enjoy the experience.
In addition to the benefits of nature, this retreat will help you prioritize quality time as a couple. With workshops focused on communication, intimacy, conflict resolution, and spiritual growth, you’ll be equipped with tools to build a lasting and joyful marriage. Taking time away from the busyness of life allows you to focus solely on each other, rejuvenating your bond and reminding you of the importance of your relationship.
Whether you've been married for years or are newlyweds, prioritizing couple time is essential. This weekend retreat offers the chance to laugh, learn, and grow together in a supportive environment. Choose to invest in your marriage—you won’t regret it!

With the retreat just six weeks away, now is the perfect time to begin mentally and physically preparing! Here are a few ways to ensure you and your spouse get the most out of the retreat and the hiking experience:
1. Start Walking Together
If hiking isn’t part of your routine, begin with short, leisurely walks and gradually increase the distance. This will help you build stamina for the hikes planned during the retreat. Plus, walking together allows for quality conversation and bonding time before the event.
2. Plan for Time Away
Start organizing the logistics of your time away—arrange childcare, take time off work, and ensure all home responsibilities are covered. Planning early will minimize stress leading up to the retreat, and be fully present with your spouse during the weekend. Get a sitter for the kids or pets. Be your future best friend and have a plan b just in case you need it!
3. Reflect on Your Relationship
Begin having open conversations with your spouse about what you’d like to work on or improve during the retreat. Think about areas where you'd like to grow, such as communication or intimacy, and come ready to share your thoughts in the sessions.
4. Pack Early
Start gathering essential gear for the retreat, such as comfortable hiking shoes (pro tip- Never hike in brand-new shoes), weather-appropriate clothing, and a trail backpack. Being prepared will allow you to enjoy the outdoor experiences without any last-minute stress.
By taking these steps now, you’ll be fully ready to embrace the retreat’s relaxation, growth, and adventure opportunities!
