What Other Couples Are Saying:

“This retreat experience was extremely helpful to us. It provided us a vision for what sexual intimacy could look like as God designed it. After decades of sexual brokenness in our marriage, Dave and Debby drew back the curtain to show us how God designed us for intimate connection with each other and how our sexuality is an intricate part of expressing that connection. The closing ceremony was very meaningful in acknowledging our past and releasing it to Jesus in exchange for what He wants for us. There is hope for growth in intimacy in the years to come. This experience truly was a gift that far exceeded our expectations in every way.”

“The intensive was a powerful and valuable experience that renewed our hope for the future of our relationship. It provided practical tools, meaningful direction, and a fresh sense of excitement about rekindling our sexual intimacy.”

“We gained a deeper understanding of the profound connection between sexuality and spirituality, along with essential sex education that everyone could benefit from. Through both rich information and experiential learning, we now feel equipped to pursue the joy and pleasure God intended for us as sexual beings on this lifelong journey together.”
