Best Marriage & Couple's Intensive Retreat
for just the two of you...
​

The nonstop stresses of today's busy world can knock the wind out of any relationship.


That's why the influential Dr. Wylie created a 5-day Marriage & Couple's Intensive Retreat for both married and non-married couples. When couples are given time to realign with a romantic getaway, powerful couple sessions, life-changing communication skills, opportunity to work through challenges, fun activities, plus time to relax — then the body, mind, heart, and emotions will follow.
​

The 5-day intensive gives you plenty of time to work through major concerns and unresolved issues in your relationship, all in a safe environment and under the direct guidance of Dr. Wylie.

How are you feeling about your relationship?

Are you . . .
  • Yearning for more closeness and intimacy?
  • Hurt by your partner's infidelity?
  • Feeling lost, alone, or bored with your marriage?
  • Frustrated or angry with your spouse?
  • Unsure if reconciliation is possible?
  • Unwilling or unable to solve unsettled issues between the two of you?
  • Challenged in stopping the cycle of arguing, criticism, flooding and stonewalling?
  • Starting to live separate lives?
  • Considering separation or divorce?
  • Or simply wanting to renew and grow closer together with your partner?

If you find yourself answering yes to any of these questions, take heart... you're not alone. Attending the Best Marriage & Couple's Intensive Retreat will change your relationship for the better almost instantly. From the very first day, you'll begin to implement new skills that can make an immense difference in your communication and relationship.

Many couples in crisis need more than the one-hour-a-week that a counseling model can provide. Often, a relationship is too fragile to wait a week between sessions. Additionally — because most issues can't be resolved in an hour — a one-hour session has the potential of merely opening up old wounds... and couples may walk away feeling even more hopeless. 

Three hour sessions with Dr. Wylie at the Marriage & Couple's Intensive Retreat allows enough time for defensive walls to come down, for discovery of root issues, and for solutions to be found. So both partners end up feeling happy and satisfied.

Put the love, energy, happiness and romance back into your relationship with a personalized marriage & couple's retreat in beautiful, peaceful Idyllwild.

The Marriage & Couple's Intensive Retreat includes:
  • Opportunities to discuss what you each see as the problems and strengths in your relationship.
  • A review of your personal backgrounds and experiences, including your history as a couple.
  • A chance to build emotional awareness as you experience each other's thoughts, feelings, concerns, and desires. This leads to problem-solving skills, more effective communication and ultimately deeper intimacy.
  • Opportunities to experience how love and forgiveness can build through recognition that personality differences can actually enhance your relationship/marriage.
  • A chance to discuss what you saw in each other when you first met, stages of the marriage, non-communication issues, and identification of misconceptions.

Come experience what many couples have already found to be a more satisfying, comfortable, private, and cost effective way to nourish and heal your marriage / relationship.

​Couples are encouraged to set their objectives high because the results they are truly committed to are what will be achieved.
This is what you can look forward to by attending a 5-day Amore Marriage & Couple's Intensive Retreat:
  • A deeper understanding and appreciation of each other.
  • A growing sense of peace and security as trust is earned and exercised.
  • More meaningful and effective communication that leads to relationship growth and a sense of being a successful team together.
  • Valuable skills for resolving conflicts and issues in a way that you'll both feel heard, understood, and satisfied with the result.
  • A greater awareness of loving concern for each other.
  • A shared vision for the future and plans to bring that vision to reality.
  • An ability to deal effectively with past challenges, and then to set them aside and focus relationship energy on the present.
  • A warm and fulfilling emotional and physical intimacy.
  • An understanding of how your marriage / relationship impacts your self-esteem and joy in all areas of life.
  • A greater ability to deal lovingly and effectively with other family members.
  • An amazing probability of feeling closer than ever before to your partner / spouse.

You'll be investing in one of the most valuable and meaningful gifts you can give to each other. No price is too much when you consider that divorce and separation results in not only financial costs, but also in emotional costs to you, your children, family and friends.

It's better to create lasting relationship changes and new ways of being together, than to settle for short-term band-aids. Dr. Wylie is committed to helping couples create lasting changes and a lifetime of relationship growth. She achieves these objectives through her dedication to the intensive philosophy and skills she has developed:

Time: Significant time spent together is a key ingredient in couples reconnecting and feeling again the magic the relationship was missing. You'll be astonished to see where the five focused retreat days take you, and abundantly rewarded by the results you achieve together.

Setting: A place of peace, beauty, and positive energy helps create a healing environment where communication flourishes and trust grows. Come rest your weary hearts among tall pines, majestic mountains and babbling creeks. In Idyllwild, accommodations are cozy and peaceful, restaurants are amazing and you'll find friendliness wherever you go, along with a variety of fun adventures. Location does make a difference.

Knowledge: Internalization of the philosophy and skills that define successful marriages and relationships delivered through innovative curriculum and experienced counseling and coaching. Dr. Wylie has over 30 years of experience assisting couples build positive, secure, healthy, happy, and loving relationships and marriages.

Sustain: Personal support through private retreat sessions and post-retreat coaching calls creates continued accountability, lasting change, and ongoing growth in the relationship. Because Dr. Wylie likes every couple to reach their full benefit, she only takes one couple at a time. That way, the entire focus is just on the two of you and your needs. This focus continues after the retreat through supportive coaching calls with Dr. Wylie.

Dedication: Your commitment to take your relationship to a higher and happier level is the essential factor that assures your success. Dr. Wylie brings to this commitment her dedication to serve your relationship and marriage to her fullest capacity.
