3-Day Marathon Intensive Couples Retreat

The 3-Day Marathon Intensive Couples Retreat is designed for couples in crisis who are looking for quick and long-lasting results. This Gottman Marathon Intensive couples therapy offers 18 hours of therapy held over three consecutive days, giving you the opportunity to talk in depth about the struggles and challenges in your relationship that simply cannot happen in the traditional style of couples therapy.

Marathon Intensive couples therapy is a good fit for busy people with tight schedules and for couples who need immediate support. The therapist provides a safe, respectful and non-judgemental environment, with specific interventions to help your relationship move forward.

The retreat includes:

  • A pre-therapy questionnaire to be completed seven days prior to therapy
  • A day one assessment phase that includes an in-depth Gottman assessment of your relationship, relationship history, individual histories and a scientific evaluation of your relationship using Gottman Connect
  • A treatment phase across all three days, providing interventions to support the relationship
  • Optional follow-up sessions for relapse prevention. These consist of 90-minute sessions spaced every three to four weeks to help solidify changes and maintain progress
