Welcome back

Your marriage deserves a follow-up visit

You did the hard, good work of the Couples Check-up. You took the assessment, spent a weekend with us at the Refuge, and went home with a plan for your marriage.

Now it’s time for a follow-up visit. We go back to the doctor and the dentist for regular check-ups, and a marriage deserves the same care. Check-up 2.0 is a weekend to celebrate your growth, be honest about what still needs work, and keep going from surviving to thriving.

Who it’s for

Check-up 1.0 is where every couple starts. 2.0 comes next.

Check-up 2.0 is for couples who have already attended a Couples Check-up 1.0 weekend at the Marriage Refuge. If you haven’t done Check-up 1.0 yet, start there.

You’ve been here before

Check-up 1.0 gave you a first, detailed look at your marriage. 2.0 builds on that foundation.

See your progress

Before the weekend you retake the online Couple Check-up (Prepare-Enrich) assessment. We compare your new report with your earlier one, side by side, so you can see where you’ve grown and where to focus next.

A fresh plan

You’ll leave with updated, practical next steps for the season you’re in now.

Limited to three couples

Each 2.0 weekend is limited to three couples, with group sessions, couple time and private coaching with Mark and Karen.

The weekend

Friday 7 pm to Sunday 11:30 am

Friday

Arrive at 7 pm, settle in, and reconnect over fun, low-key activities. Please eat dinner before you come.
