“Our marriage was ready for divorce, I was ready to file. We tried marriage counseling many times before but nothing seemed to help. This was our final hope. On the 2nd day, while sharing our hurts with each other, we had a major breakthrough and a major shift in our marriage. God has definitely been moving within each of us and our marriage the entire weekend in such a mighty way. I am so grateful for the insight and tools I have learned from this weekend. I finally have hope for restoration and healing in our marriage. Thank you!!!” - Allison

“Before coming here, I never heard my wife or saw where she was coming from. This weekend helped a lot on how to speak with her and see her in the way she was needing me to see and talk to her and listen.” - Tim

“In the last few years some very unhealthy patterns had developed and we were impacted by infidelity. This weekend gave us specific, practical, and realistic tools to use to overcome serious challenges and to disrupt unhealthy habits. We are hopeful again and were reminded that we are on the same team. Thank you!” - Jackie

“We have been able to see that our hurting behaviors are innate and not intended to hurt the other; we are not each other’s enemy. We owe more to you guys now than what we paid!” - Anna

“This weekend exposed me and allowed me to put a finger on past hurts and how they effect my marriage now. We have been like strangers in our marriage because we lacked the tools to communicate without fighting. We now have the tools and have already had some incredible revelations and conversations this weekend!” - James

“Days leading up to the Intensive were very tense for us and we almost did not even attend. Threats of divorce on both ends, if we didn’t attend. But after given practical tools to communicate and reconnect with each other, we are both having a better perspective on each other and our marriage.” - Allison

“I was feeling defeated, but after this weekend I am hopeful and extremely optimistic that not only our marriage will survive, but also it will thrive if we put in the work.” - Dick

“This Intensive gave me a clear understanding on how to talk with my Wife and, more importantly, how to listen to to her feelings and concerns and consider them above my own.” - Walt

“We had a decent marriage, but an affair had taken place that rocked our world. The Intensive gave us tools and information that not only will strengthen our marriage but ultimately save it. I’m so grateful we chose to invest in each other through this Intensive. We are in a wonderful place now and feel as though we have what we need to continue on and be successful.” - Amy

“This Intensive was more than I expected and exactly what our marriage needed. The tools and exercises we learned helped us discuss the hurt we had been living with. These tools have led us down a path where I know we will be happier together in the future.” = Jerry

“The Intensive helped me realize the love and care we have for one another. It opened my eyes to not be so harsh on ourselves, that our hurts/issues are somewhat ‘normal.’ It was also really nice to see Les and Rhonda work together and share some personal experiences they have gone through and come out of together and closer; thank you for your vulnerability.” - Karen

“If you have a hard time communicating and expressing thoughts and hurts with your spouse, the practical tools and applications during the Intensive gave us a great opportunity to share and repair some lingering issues.” - Larry

“The Intensive helped us heal and restore our relationship, it was very rocky and we had a lot of anger for each other. This helped us remember how much we love each other.” - Tony

“This event was empowering! It challenged me as a man to own and fulfill my marital purpose to God, my wife, and my family. Our marriage was mainly in the “enemies camp” and getting worse. Now I know we aren’t moving toward worse and I’m encouraged to make progress.” - Greg

“This Intensive was a last ditch effort for us, and we were so blessed to have gone through this together. Les, your care for those hurting in marriage is such an encouragement. We are now resolved to God and each other to make this work by applying the tools you gave us.” - Tracey

“The activities were very beneficial. We needed to have ‘tangible’ ways to go forward in marriage.” - Christina

“This has provided us with tools to support us while we work to save our marriage. Without the tools, it is unlikely we would even have a direction to proceed.” – Angela

“This weekend helped me break through a communication block in our marriage and begin to resolve an issue that has held me back from engaging fully with my spouse.” – Teresa

“Just the ability to stop and focus on us was enough, but then the format lends itself well to not just stop, but look and listen (to each other and to God). Thank you for leading us well.” – Dave

“The ‘Repair Dialogue’ tool gave us a template to revisit hurts in a way that we could dialogue without being overwhelmed or getting off-track. This will be a regular practice for us.” – Kathy

“We learned how to have the needed conversations without them degrading into highly tense arguments. By following the road map of the ‘Repair Dialogue,’ we were able to talk through things staying focused on a specific need.” - Michael

“To tell the truth, I didn’t want to even come this weekend. I was so discouraged in my marriage. The first session was very difficult. By pushing through, my heart began to open up and hope started to come in. This intense format, although hard, was so beneficial. Great tools!” - Theresa

“My wife and I were at a pivotal moment of despair within our relationship, and we needed time, tools and support to find our way back to each other. The Intensive was timely, authentic and extremely relevant. Best of all, it was rooted in God’s Word.” - Scott

“This dedicated time and activities helped us reconnect and gave us better tools to approach the harder conversations as well as tell and show each other how much we appreciate the love we have for one another. Our marriage was a bit disconnected before the weekend, but now it feels more hopeful that we can stay connected and more to being friends and lovers.” - Lauryn
