Tips To Find a WinShape Marriage Retreat That Suits You and Your Spouse WellÂ
You’ve decided to invest in your marriage by attending a retreat. That’s a great first step.
The next question is: Which retreat is right for you and your spouse?
At WinShape Marriage, we offer a variety of retreat experiences throughout the year, each designed to help couples step away from everyday life, reconnect with one another, and grow together. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway, a midweek retreat, an adventure-filled experience, or simply some uninterrupted time together, there’s likely a retreat that fits your season and schedule.
If you’re not sure where to start, here’s a simple guide to help you find the best fit.
Start with the Type of Retreat Experience You’re Looking For
All of our retreats are designed to strengthen marriages, but they each offer a slightly different experience. As you browse upcoming retreats, consider which of the following options feels most appealing to you and your spouse.
Weekend Marriage Retreats
Weekend Marriage Retreats are one of the most popular ways couples experience WinShape Marriage.
These retreats typically take place over a weekend and include engaging sessions from trusted speakers, meaningful time with your spouse, delicious meals, and opportunities to connect with other couples. They’re a great fit for couples who want to invest intentionally in their marriage without taking time away from work during the week.
Midweek Marriage Retreats
For couples with more flexibility in their schedules, a midweek retreat can offer a quieter pace and a unique opportunity to step away from everyday responsibilities.
Like our weekend retreats, these experiences include speaker-led content, time to connect as a couple, and the hospitality WinShape Marriage is known for. Many guests enjoy the slower rhythm that a midweek retreat provides.
Retreats for Pastors, Ministry Leaders, and Their Spouses
Ministry comes with unique opportunities and unique challenges.
Our retreats for pastors, ministry leaders, and their spouses are designed to provide encouragement, refreshment, and time to reconnect. These retreats create space for couples in ministry to invest in their own marriage while enjoying a supportive environment alongside others who understand the demands of ministry life.
Marriage Adventure Retreats
Some couples connect best through shared experiences and new challenges.
Marriage Adventure Retreats combine the encouragement and relationship focus of a traditional retreat with engaging activities designed to help couples learn, laugh, and grow together. If you and your spouse enjoy hands-on experiences, adventure, and making memories together, this may be a great fit.
Self-Guided Marriage Retreats
Sometimes what a couple needs most is simply time away together.
Self-Guided Marriage Retreats provide a peaceful environment for couples who want to reconnect without a retreat speaker or structured schedule. You’ll enjoy the beauty and hospitality of WinShape Retreat while creating your own rhythm for rest, conversation, reflection, and quality time together.
These retreats are ideal for couples looking for space to breathe, reconnect, and focus on one another.
Consider Your Season of Life
In addition to the style of retreat, many of our retreats are designed around specific seasons of life and relationship needs.
You may find retreats geared toward newly married couples, parents raising children at home, empty nesters, pastors and ministry leaders, or couples looking to strengthen a particular area of their relationship.
As you browse upcoming retreats, think about where you and your spouse are today and what kind of investment would be most meaningful in your current season.
Don’t Worry About Finding the “Perfect” Retreat
Many couples find several retreats that sound appealing. That’s completely normal.
The truth is, there often isn’t a single “perfect” choice. Start with the retreat that best fits your schedule, interests, and current season of life. Every retreat offers opportunities to connect with your spouse, learn something new, and strengthen your marriage.
And if there are other retreats that catch your eye, you can always come back again.
