Retreat Description
Healthy communication doesn’t just happen, it’s built. The pace and pressures of life can place enormous strain on a marriage, making it easy for couples to feel disconnected, misread one another, or find themselves frustrated over things that normally wouldn’t matter.
Courageous Communication is designed to help you strengthen the foundation for healthy communication and better understand what happens between you and your spouse when conversations get hard. Using biblical truth and relevant relationship research, you’ll explore the communication “dance” that can quickly pull couples into familiar patterns of misunderstanding, defensiveness, conflict, or disconnection. With the tools gained from this retreat, you’ll be able to move through “stuckness” and into a more intimate, thriving marriage.
