Couples Getaway

TheShack_CouplesWkend_2015

Join us for the next Couples Getaway Weekend at The Shack!

Our theme this year: Clearing the Path Back to Each Other

Two Weekends to Choose From: September 11-13, 2026, and September 25-27, 2026.

We are offering 2 Couples Getaway weekends this year to help fit your schedule!

If your marriage feels busy, disconnected, or stuck in repeating patterns, this getaway is for you.

Life is overwhelming for many couples, and somewhere along the way, connection begins to slip. Schedules fill up, responsibilities pile on, and meaningful time together becomes harder to find. Conversations become surface-level; small frustrations grow into larger conflicts, and couples often feel stuck in repeating patterns they don’t know how to change. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Step away from the noise and busyness of everyday life and discover what’s really shaping your relationship beneath the surface. Through practical teaching and guided conversations, you’ll learn why connection breaks down, what’s really driving your reactions, and how to begin reconnecting emotionally and spiritually. You’ll also gain simple, realistic rhythms to help you prioritize your marriage moving forward. 

This isn’t about trying harder; it’s about becoming different together. Leave with clarity, practical tools, and renewed hope for a deeper, stronger, Christ-centered marriage.
