Growing Together

WinShape Retreat - Rome, GA
August 15 - August 17, 2025

Retreat Description

Healthy marriages don’t resist growth but are purposeful about growing together. Growing Together is our most “general” Marriage Retreat giving you and your spouse space to tailor the experience to you through a variety of breakout sessions. If you want to focus on communication, sex and intimacy, or developing your spiritual relationship, for example, for the entirety of a weekend, we suggest looking at Courageous Communication, God, Sex, and Your Marriage, or Soul Care for Your Marriage. 

 This retreat will cover multiple topics over several sessions, main stage and breakouts. No matter which sessions you choose, you’ll gain tangible skills to continue building a strong foundation for your future or to tack on to the foundation you’ve been layering piece by piece in your marriage thus far—so you can grow together in year one, year 30, and beyond. 

Key Takeaways

  • Experiences to deepen your communication and connection 
  • Strategies for addressing conflict appropriately and problem-solving together 
  • Keys to understanding intimacy and how it creates a more fulfilling marriage 
  • Hands-on learning opportunities to help you grow in your relationship

Testimonials

“Our favorite part of the weekend was the general sessions. The facilitators talked about real-life issues and shared practical ways to resolve them. We’re already looking forward to coming back again next year!”

Craig T.

“It was a wonderful weekend in every way—the time to strengthen our marriage, warm fellowship, new tools for a vision in this season, the delicious and abundant food, beautiful accommodations, worship, and the opportunity to experience the glory of God on the grounds of WinShape. Everything was done with excellence, and every person we encountered was a shining light for Jesus. Grant and Monique are fabulous communicators who helped cast a strong vision for a healthy and thriving marriage. We are so grateful for every blessing of this past weekend!”

Anne P.

“[It’s] hard to have just one favorite [part of the weekend]. Primarily, having the space and guided conversation to think about my marriage and the setting and hospitality really enhanced the experience.”

How It Works

FAQs

Where are you located?

WinShape Retreat is located on the campus of Berry College in Rome, GA, approximately 1.5 hours northwest of Atlanta, GA. 

What do we need to bring?

The dress for your retreat will be very casual. Please bring comfortable clothing for the entire weekend, including Sunday morning. We recommend at least one pair of pants, a light jacket, and layers in case of colder weather, rain, etc. During most retreats, youll have the opportunity to participate in recreational activities, which require closed-toe/closed-heel shoes (preferably athletic shoes). On Saturday, you’ll have the opportunity to have a professional photo taken by our on-site photographer. If you’d like to bring a nicer outfit you can, though this is not required. Bring all personal toiletries, including any medicines you’re currently taking. You may want to bring a Bible, small book bag, and water bottle. You will not need any money during your stay as lodging, meals, snacks, and programming are included in your registration fee. 

Do you provide counseling at Marriage Retreats?

Our Marriage Retreats do not provide time for one-on-one counseling with the speakers or any other staff members. If you feel you may need more in-depth help or your marriage may be in crisis, please contact us using the button below or check out WinShape Marriage Intensives. 

What does the schedule look like, and will we have free time?

You’ll receive a detailed schedule of the weekend upon arrival, but you can expect breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as sessions in an auditorium type setting. You’ll have free time throughout the weekend, where you’re welcome to explore the beautiful campus on one of the many walking or biking trails. We also have a variety of other activities and games available. You can play pickleball, play disc golf, fish, hike, play board games, read, relax in a hammock, and more! Feel free to bring your own bikes, equipment, and games, but we also have everything you’ll need available for checkout. 

What is your reservation policy?

The full amount of the event will be charged to your credit card at the time of the reservation. Once your card is charged, your payment is nonrefundable. If your plans change, your reservation can be transferred to another event within one year of the originally scheduled experience. This must be done at least 30 days prior to the event, or a $75.00 transfer fee will be assessed. If you do not transfer your reservation prior to the event, you will no longer be able to transfer, and all payments will be forfeited. 

After a Marriage Retreat, You’ll Be:

  • Strengthened in your relationship with the Lord 
  • Renewed in your intimacy with your spouse
