The DIY Marriage retreat is a fun, educational, and lighthearted weekend to connect with your spouse and spend quality time together. The speakers are positive, approachable, and real, and the sessions and topics are applicable to all stages of marriage. The venue and meals offer a relaxing mini-getaway, and a great way to spend time with each other reconnecting. Thank you for the opportunity! I highly recommend it for all View More

Even if you feel like seeing a couples therapist would be more helpful or appropriate, come to a workshop anyway, because the real time discussion with other participants made all the difference for us in our marriage.

The workshops put the tools in practice - something that other military lead retreats lacked and something that I feel will make implementing them easier moving forward.

I liked most the variety of sessions and the material presented. The presenters had relatable stories that we could identify with and not feel awkward. We really enjoyed that it was a safe space, not judgmental, and they were motivational. DIY provides realistic views and tools for marriage. Does not matter where the relationship is or how long they have been married.

I spent time with my wife, which almost never happens (5 yrs.). We did not fight, argue, or belittle. We, and most importantly I, learned skills my wife already uses. Which impressed me. It was well worth what you would give up to attend just to be on the same page. If you want your marriage. Everyone can learn, and be humbled.

It was fun and hard at the same time. The classes were very good; helping you realize things you possibly didn''t know before about yourself, or your spouse. Counselors were available free of charge at the conference. I would highly recommend this conference to anyone who may be considering attending. Scholarships are available if finances are an issue.
