We know if you and your spouse are raising a child with special needs, you face unique challenges, many of which place significant stress on your marriage. At Together in the Journey, you’ll enjoy a well-deserved respite from caretaking to nurture your marriage and relate to others walking similar journeys. You’ll also receive tools to deal with stressors that impact your marital health as well as ideas to continually nurture your marriage after returning home. 

Key Takeaways

  • A restful weekend getaway filled with great food, joyous laughter, and sweet experiences 
  • The chance to connect with other couples in a similar parenting situation 
  • Space to have meaningful and uninterrupted conversations with one another 
  • Strategies for developing a strong support system and intentionally caring for your marriage over the long haul 
  • Time to be equipped, encouraged, and energized in your marriage 

Note

  • While we love kids, our Marriage Retreats are a place for parents to get away and focus on their relationship. Therefore, no infants or children under the age of 18 are permitted at these events.

This was an extremely beautiful place, the people were very wonderful, we enjoyed the food like crazy, and had fun on the bicycles going around the lake and exploring the countryside. Our time there was a very worthwhile experience! I would love to go again!

My husband and I attended a retreat this past spring at WinShape, and we had a life changing experience. It's such a safe place to grow and connect with your spouse. They've literally thought of everything to make you feel comfortable and cared for. We didn't want to leave!

FAQs

I know we can’t bring our kids to the retreat, but do you offer childcare for them for the weekend?

Unfortunately, we do not offer childcare; however, many states provide financial assistance to families for respite care.

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 our retreats is casual. Please bring comfortable clothing. We recommend at least one pair of pants and a light jacket as well as layers in case of colder weather, rain, etc. At most retreats, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in experiential learning activities, during which you’ll need closed-toe/closed-heel shoes (preferably athletic shoes). You will not need any money during your stay as all 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 other staff members. If you feel you may need more in-depth help or that your marriage is in crisis, please contact us or check out Marriage Intensives.

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

You will 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. Additionally, you’ll have free time and experiential learning activities on Saturday. During your free time, you’re welcome to explore the beautiful Berry College campus on one of the many walking or biking trails. Please feel free to bring your bikes, or you can check out ones we have available. We also have a variety of other activities and games—fishing equipment, discs for our disc golf course, yard games, tennis rackets, basketballs, board games, etc.

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 non-refundable. If your plans change, your reservation can be transferred to another retreat within one year of the date of the reserved event. This must be done at least one week prior to the retreat. A $75.00 transfer fee may be assessed. If you do not call to cancel your reservation prior to the retreat, you will not be able to transfer to a different retreat.

After a Marriage Retreat, You’ll Be:

  • Strengthened in your relationship with the Lord 
  • Renewed in your intimacy with your spouse 
  • Inspired to continue prioritizing your marriage 
  • Encouraged by others walking similar paths 
  • Refreshed and rejuvenated to return home
