Marriage Retreat Toolkit

How often while scrolling on Instagram do you stop to stare at a picture of a couple who looks like they "have it all together" and are ridiculously cute while doing it?

Part of you thinks, "It's so cool to see real couples thriving together!"

... and the other part is feeling a little jealous. "Why can't I have that, too?"

I'll let you in on a little secret...

Every couple, including super adorable Instagrammable ones, have room to grow. The difference for any couple (whether they do PDA or not) is if they take the time and energy to invest in their marriage.

The thing is - SO MUCH growth in marriage happens during conversations and quality time spent together - whether or not it goes online for the world to see.

... and that's where the Marriage Retreat Toolkit comes in.

It's designed to help you and your partner plan your private retreat, reflect on and dream for the many parts of your life together, and prioritize taking time for the two of you. Plus, it includes personality tips so you can make the most of your time together!

While you'll still face challenges together (hello life), it's one small step toward becoming more intentional with your time and energy... and having at least a little bit more of "all the things" together.

P.S. You're already an adorable couple!

You could spend hours Googling for great DIY marriage retreat ideas... and then a whole lot more time than that simply trying to piece together a retreat that works for both you and your spouse.

Rather than wasting your precious time and energy creating this from scratch, the Marriage Retreat Toolkit simplifies it for you. It walks you through what to consider as you plan your retreat, what to prioritize during your retreat, key questions to ask, and includes personality type tips to help you and your spouse make the most of your time together. It's all about celebrating the unique gift that God gave you - your marriage - and how to thrive together!

Rather than just thinking "Someday we'll do this" - start planning your marriage retreat today. Yay!

I'm Cortney, a recovering over-achiever and Christian life coach.

I used to think only pretty, perfectly pulled-together couples did marriage retreats with their spouse.

But I learned that's a lie. The perfect time to begin is where you are right now.

You see, we were two sleep-deprived new parents of a 10-month-old preemie. We were exhausted and over-stacked.

Something had to change.

After arranging childcare for a night, we decided to try something new: our first DIY marriage retreat.

Our simple, messy, deep-dive discussion helped us start making our big and little dreams into practical realities.

(And we started sleeping more, too!)

That first retreat helped us make some micro-shifts in how we manage our time, energy, finances, spiritual growth, and so much more. It's been so life-giving and something I look forward to each year.

That first retreat helped us start making intentional incremental changes to how we approached our spiritual growth, relationships, family life, finances, and so much more.

Each year we're astounded to see how much more we've grown individually, together, and as a family after taking the time to connect, reflect, and dream together.

You can live intentionally with passion and purpose as God's beloved. One small way to do that is to take intentional time with your spouse to dream together and begin taking incremental steps to make those dreams a reality.

HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER THE MARRIAGE RETREAT TOOLKIT IS RIGHT FOR ME?
If you want to "just get away" with your spouse to dream together but aren't sure how, this is for you.

If you want to be more intentional about your marriage and where you're headed together, this is for you.

If you and your spouse enjoy dreaming about the future together but haven't made the time for it, this is for you.

If you and your spouse regularly reflect and strategize about your mutual goals together, this may not be for you. Kudos to you and your sweetheart!

Have even more FUN in your marriage - you're prioritizing it!

The toolkit opens up with some encouragement about how Scripture celebrates couples taking time together. It then walks you through what a DIY marriage retreat is and how you can successfully plan and prepare for your marriage retreat.

It then provides a beginner's level introduction to personality - one of your gifts from God! - and how that can influence how you two interact and support each other. You'll find personality-type tips to consider for your retreat so you can design it where both of you are fulfilled from your time. Suggested resources are also provided that you can integrate during your retreat.

Finally, the toolkit provides multiple planning sheets to help you and your spouse discuss what would help you both most enjoy your retreat and to troubleshoot what obstacles need to be addressed. You'll also find some incredibly powerful and simple questions to work through together for each agenda topic.

Ultimately, the Marriage Retreat Toolkit will only work for you as far as you choose to use it. You can always pick and choose which tips and ideas you need most to focus on and revisit the other ones at another time.
