Couples Retreat

Great relationships rarely happen by accident. They are built through communication, understanding, trust, intentionality, and continuous growth.

The Down Set Lead Couples Retreat gives couples an opportunity to reconnect, strengthen their relationship, and develop tools that help them thrive together. It's designed for couples at all stages of their journey, from newly committed couples to those who have been together for decades.

The focus is practical, engaging, and interactive, built around the five areas that most often determine long-term relationship success: Communication, Cash, Caring, Curiosity, Courage.

‍The retreat takes place at the gorgeous Alpine Lake Resort in Terra Alta, WV. It's a three-day, two-night excursion that includes five workshops — two on Friday, two on Saturday, and one on Sunday — along with time built in for relaxation and reflection. The retreat is led by a pair of practiced professionals, and each workshop runs approximately 2–2½ hours. The resort offers golf, canoeing, hiking, and more. Every registration reserves a private bedroom and shared bath in a large house right on the lake.

‍These retreats are not lectures. They are interactive experiences built around conversation, reflection, learning, and action.

"As counselors, I didn't think that my wife and I would learn much from the program. I saw it more as a refresher, but I was taken by surprise in learning that we did have a major issue that we needed to work-on. Without the program, our issue would have lingered-on even longer before we realized we had the problem so we really appreciate their creating their program. They were warm and inviting and were good at facilitating meaningful discussion."

"Honestly, I was not sure if my husband would want to attend but we are both so glad we did. It was a great experience from start to finish. Rod and Kim make you feel comfortable, welcomed, and home from the start. You get to spend a lot of time communicating on a much deeper level. I would recommend this to all couples. Even if you feel things are perfect it is an awesome weekend away, out of the norm, in which you will grow together."

"David and I recently attended the Couples Retreat, and we had an outstanding experience! The entire retreat was very well organized from start to finish. The schedule was thoughtfully planned, and the venue was amazing and created a welcoming atmosphere that allowed us to focus on our relationship without distractions.

Love the program, Kim and Rod did an excellent job, making important core topics easy to understand and discuss, even when addressing challenging aspects of communication and partnership. The sessions were practical, engaging, and relevant to couples at any stage of their journey together.

We highly recommend this retreat to any couple looking to strengthen their connection, improve communication, and gain valuable tools for a healthier, more fulfilling relationship..
