Luxurious Venues

All retreats are held at a relaxing and peaceful venues. While we do stay at and visit our venues for our retreats prior to booking, it's important to know that our ministry operates based on its own set of Christ-centered beliefs and values, which may not necessarily align with those of the venues where we host our retreats. D2T strives to reflect God's love in all our partnerships with others, showing compassion and understanding just as He does for us.
May we make a positive impact on those around us and allow us to point others towards the source of all light and truth wherever we are!

Couples are provided with a workbook covering material discussed throughout the weekend.  You also leave with a beautiful gift basket as well as several quality resources to take home to continue the progress of studying your spouse, prompting conversations and strengthening your marriage long after the retreat ends.  

  

At a marriage retreat you will focus on aligning your expectations in the areas of:

When you arrive:

Before you leave, we will schedule a follow-up get together with your group. We will plan to meet again within two months from our retreat date and look forward to hearing about your progress and help in any areas that may still be a struggle. Our goal is to not only equip you for success in your marriage but also follow through to enable you to thrive along the way!

Follow-Up:

FRIDAY evening, we understand that participants may be coming after a full work week, so this evening is intended to focus only on getting everyone settled in and comfortable. We will enjoy getting to know everyone over a casual pizza dinner, followed by a delicious dessert.
SATURDAY starts with a continental breakfast and is followed by a mix of focused sessions and breakout sessions. Once lunch is complete, you are off for plenty of time alone as a couple. You may choose to stay onsite or head into the nearby town.  This alone time will include conversation starters and follow-up questions from the prior session.  We come together again around the dining room table and enjoy a delicious meal before our last session of the day.
SUNDAY morning includes a family style breakfast, followed by a session and breakout discussion before couples prepare to head home around noon.
