Couples Getaway
Join us for the next Couples Getaway Weekend at The Shack!
Our theme this year: Fanning the Flame: Rekindling Intimacy in Your Marriage
Two Weekends to Choose From: September 5-7, 2025, and September 26-28, 2025.
We are offering 2 Couples Getaway weekends this year to help fit your schedule!
How would you describe the flame in your marriage – spiritually, emotionally, physically?
Over time, even the strongest marriages can feel the chill of disconnection. What once burned bright with love and passion can fade into routine, resentment, or quiet distance. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
This year’s Couples Getaway is designed for every couple who longs to reignite the flame – to restore deep connection and experience intimacy as God intended.
We’ll explore:
- Why so many couples experience a drop in marital satisfaction — and what to do about it.
- How to deal with negative thoughts and emotions that drive a wedge between you.
- How to rebuild emotional closeness and physical affection with purpose and tenderness.
- Practical ways to protect and nurture the flame in your marriage so it continues to grow.
Through biblical wisdom, real-life tools, and intentional time together, you’ll learn how to keep the spiritual, emotional, and physical bond in your marriage alive — not just for a season, but for a lifetime.
