You’re not alone

This may be an unfamilar territory, but we’re here to guide you.

We’ve all experienced it; miscommunication, conflict, incompatibility, anger, separation, and ultimately divorce in marriages.

Why not check-up on your marriage? We go to the doctor and the dentist for regular check-ups, but for some reason we don’t check-up on our marriage, sometimes until its too late to make changes!

We want to offer a way to break the cycle by offering a retreat center, a place of refuge for couples to come and be renewed in their marriage.

What is a Marriage Intensive

The Marriage Refuge is partnering with Jeff and Robin Reinke in offering marriage intensives for couples in severe crisis situations—for instance, those on the brink of divorce—as well as couples who require in-depth counseling or may simply find themselves stuck and needing help progressing in their relationship. At The Refuge Marriage Intensive, Jeff and Robin lead focused sessions in a three-couple, group-therapy format over a three half-day and three-night period. This safe environment helps break down communication obstacles, uncover hidden barriers, and move participants quickly to core issues.
