Healing Couple's Retreat - Planning

If you have a good faith relationship with your partner, Weekend Marriage Retreat a Healing Couples Retreat can be one of the most satisfying experiences of your life. This is so especially if the two of you can find a way to calm the stress and tension that has been accumulating over time. However, in order to ensure that the retreat is a success you need to take certain steps in order to make it a memorable experience for your partner.

There are a few things that you will want to consider when you are preparing for your retreat. One of these steps includes choosing the location of your retreat. You should be aware of the kind of atmosphere that you want to create for your guests.

In order to do this you will want to have a look at the location that you are considering. If you are seeking a retreat that is away from home you will want to make sure that the location is easy to get to and is far enough away from your home to provide you and your partner with some time to enjoy your retreat without the stress of an everyday commute. On the other hand, if you live close to the location you may want to choose a location that offers some of the things that you love in your own home such as a pool or patio that you can invite your partner to.

Another important factor that you should consider is the number of people that you want to include in your retreat. For example, you do not want to include children in your retreat. Likewise, if you and your partner share custody of your children and they will not be going with you to your retreat then you will want to keep their participation down to a minimum.

You will also want to talk with your partner about any issues that might come up during the healing process of the couple's agreement. For example, if you and your partner disagree on the topic of your child custody then you will want to discuss the issue before the retreat takes place. You will want to agree on which elements of the agreement that are going to be honored.

There are various discussions that can take place prior to the retreat. In some cases there are options that you both feel comfortable with such as:

"Take turns" - Going to separate rooms when it comes to cooking. For example, if you are both the one who makes dinner you may wish to discuss this before your retreat.

"Break up" - Sleeping in separate rooms for the day. For example, if you each have a full time job, and you both take turns working late into the night on the weekends then this can work well.

Sharing room - Sleep in separate beds. In other words, if you sleep in separate beds it does not mean that you are not sharing but rather you are sleeping in separate rooms.

Forcing change - Each couple gets a portion of the day where they both participate in cooking and the other gets a portion of the day where they make meals. The days can be short or long depending on what works best for you and your partner.

If you and your partner cannot find the time to agree on which option you both prefer then you can ask for an individual group retreat instead. In this case you will be spending all of your time together so you should be able to make a compromise.

These are just a few of the things that you will want to consider when you are preparing for your Healing Couple's Retreat. The more effort that you put into your retreat the more successful it will be.
