Marriage Intensives are built and designed around your specific circumstances, problems and needs of your relationship.

The biggest reason we like Marriage Intensives is the concentration of time and the ability to look more fully at your life together. It is a comprehensive look at your whole marriage.

Together, we will look at:

What is a Marriage Intensive?

The marriage intensive includes a 1.5-hour pre-meeting with us; zoom or in-person at Don’s office in Phoenix, AZ. 

After the meeting, we will send you a marriage intensive agreement to set you up for success with expectations.
We will also ask both of you to complete The NEO Personality Inventory™. This is a self-administered, standard questionnaire that measures emotional, interpersonal, experiential, attitudinal, and motivational styles. 

Post-Intensive

We'll schedule a 1-hour zoom or in-person meeting one week later to check-in with how you're transitioning back to regular life. This will be a time to discuss any areas that you may have gotten stuck. 

How does a Marriage Intensive Work?

Your family of origin
Your personal history
Your marriage history
The spiritual dimensions of your relationship
Your individual personalities and your marriage dynamic
Areas where you are getting stuck
Healing and restoration
A plan for moving forward

The space allows for healing and reprieve in your busy schedule. We will also have organic time for conversation and connection, giving us insight into what areas need attention. We will take breaks as we need them.

Pre-Intensive

We schedule a 2 night getaway with you to an Airbnb or rental (which you are responsible for booking) that has a kitchen and comfortable living room seating for 4 people. We have suggestions if you don’t know where to look. We will bring snacks for our time together (you can tell us your preferences) and we will provide food for lunch.
