We had a very impactful time with our coaches.  I am hopeful we can build upon what we have learned and continue growing our relationship.

The coaches were wonderful coaches and we learned many things about ourselves and how it relates to our marriage. The aftercare resources available to help couple stay on course are terrific.  We will begin with the 15-week course starting tomorrow. Thank you!

My wife and I really enjoyed the marriage counseling / retreat. Thank you.

We had a great time. We could feel God working from the moment we stepped in the building. We loved having our coaches. They were so easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable. We felt so relaxed and free to be vulnerable. We made great connections to the other couples as well which was an added bonus. We all had so much in common! Before the intensive, we were already working hard on our marriage prior to the weekend, but this just took it to the next level. We are super excited to continue with the heavy lifting and hopefully return to the Marriage Hub someday in the future.

The weekend was really special! I feel God moving in our marriage already. We were blessed to have the coaches we had. The similarities we had with the other 2 couples was also incredible. We are looking forward to the next 15 week “heavy lifting” exercises!

We have felt the tension that conflict brings since being home, but we quickly reached for the tools we brought home with us to work through it right away.

We also plan to continue with the post intensive sessions now that the weekend is over. I am so grateful for the couples that were a part of this weekend, both attendees and mentors. This weekend seems like such a pivotal part of our journey and where we will go as we walk together into the future. I feel like I have unveiled a lot of my own self, which has been very painful but also freeing as we navigate our marriage.

I’m forever grateful for the coaches, the mentors, the other couples who took the big step to come this weekend, and everyone at Marriage Hub who made the intensive possible.

We are working towards reconciliation. I think we both know there is work ahead of us. Honestly, we sort of got stuck in life issues and have not started the online portion of the program. I am going to try to apply what I am learning and be more intentional to make sure my wife feels safe with me and do what I can to better myself.

This is a great program and I appreciate all of the information and help provided so far.

Overall the intensive seemed helpful and gave us more details and background to the tools we’ve received in our 6.5 years on and off with a marriage counselor.

We feel that God has really moved in our lives and marriage. We feel He is doing a new thing and we have hope that God will use our testimony to bring Him glory and help other couples that are struggling! How He set all of this up! I cannot thank you enough for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and hear from God and reach out to us or we would have never made it to the Intensive. We were headed for divorce! We know we have work to do but we are going to commit and try hard. God could not have put us with a better coaching group. God even put the perfect group together with the other couples. The Lord has blessed your ministry and we are grateful that The Marriage Hub and Intensive has answered the call to minister to marriages. We now have hope!

It was a wonderful experience! My husband has repeatedly said that God spoke to him loudly and we even implemented what we learned on the way home. We have tools! What a blessing you all are with a much needed ministry! I didn’t think those bones would ever start rattling much less come together and form a marriage. God has breathed LIFE into us. The enemy almost had us. We understand that, like the stock market, we will have ups and downs, but at least the trajectory is moving up! And we have tools!!! 💕❤️‍🩹

It was a powerful weekend – very emotional, exhausting, tiring AND a very real step towards renewed commitment and healing. My wife did not want to be there, and she made this clear but by the end she felt surrounded by love, truth and encouragement. She told me she could relate to what the coaches exhorted us to do…put a stake down and only look forward from here on out. All 4 leaders were amazing. We felt privileged to have an additional help couple and they both brought so much insight, understanding and comic relief, to the Intensive. My whole prayer was for this weekend to be a pivot point for both of us.

The pain and the struggles are still ahead but we both can see a LIGHT to follow together.

The B&B was really nice! We loved all the snacks during the sessions!

This weekend was amazing. The information given from the coaches through the workbook was groundbreaking for my wife and I. We were given great tools to be able to hit a reset button and be renewed in each other. We were definitely blessed with this opportunity and are extremely grateful for what’s to come.

We are incredibly blessed and thankful for the work God did in our hearts and marriage this weekend.

We loved the intensive – it was relationship changing for us. People at work said I seemed like my old self so even a noticeable change in me personally. Thank you so much!

The weekend was very much needed for my wife and I. A lot of information and a lot of things to put in our toolbox to help our marriage get back on course. It felt good to hear my wife say she’s getting to know me after almost 6 years of being married. All around great intensive to attend and I highly recommend it.

What a weekend! My wife and I both put our hearts into it and we got a lot out of it. There’s a lot to think about and a lot to do, but we feel very good.

We truly enjoyed this weekend. I was so nervous going into it, not knowing what to expect. However, the coaches were amazing and truly an amazing comfort! Overall our marriage was at a stand still point. In the 20 years together we have had really low points, multiple separations, a point where I filed papers, and points of reconciliation and really great moments and memories made. So the topics were sometime items for us to do some housekeeping and dust off some areas to refocus on, and allowed us to be available in conversation to help others when possible. For us our primary focus was on trust, forgiveness and communication. We really feel like we were able to create a new pattern we will continue to adjust. One day at a time and over time I’m hopeful to get our issues to resolve.

We are also very grateful that we were able to provide some guidance to the other couples and helped us realize we’ve come so far in 20 years-by God’s grace alone!

We are “starting over” for the third time since we left the intensive yesterday. There is a reason why we came to the intensive in the first place and though I was hopeful for a dramatic transformation, I will continue to be content with hoping for slow change.

The weekend was a success and we very much appreciated having the opportunity to participate with the Marriage Hub. We’re excited to see what the coming weeks will bring.

The weekend was absolutely wonderful to the fact that we were guided through information in a small group setting, shared and also found that other couples struggle as we do. It was a twist to focus on ourselves rather than look at the other person. Of course we have heard to do this before, especially in the bible, but we were actually shown how to go about doing this. It made me look at my marriage differently and some of the exercises brought to light things about me personally that I didn’t realize I was as doing that may hurt my spouse.

Our coaches were kind, loving and very informative. I loved how the setting was open and everyone was able to share. Our coaches, included.

I feel as though the weekend gave us a chance to see things in a different light and gave us the tools to change the things we are struggling with.

The intensive was difficult for the both of us, as many wounds from our crisis came up.  However, we are very thankful for the coaches being able to help us navigate through the hurts and pains we were experiencing.  The curriculum for the Intensive is very on point to what we need in our marriage right now. Even though it will be difficult to practice, we both committed to working the workbook materials and applying them regardless of what challenges may come before us.

Thank you for your prayers, we definitely felt God working in us during the retreat.  This is just the beginning, and we look forward to the healing God will bring our marriage in the future.

Though it was a rainy weekend, overall it was a nice time and glad to have met other couples like us. I really enjoyed my time in Sandy Cove and can’t wait to go back! The intensive was definitely eye opening, we haven’t had time yet to go back through the binders but plan on doing so soon.

We made it back late last night safe and doing well. The weekend program was just what we needed and is already having a positive impact on our marriage.  We look forward to the next steps and digging deeper to fully implement the program.

We absolutely LOVED the intensive. Our coaches were wonderful facilitators and the other couple was super helpful and supportive as well. We enjoyed learning more about ourselves and getting some tools to communicate in a more healthy way going forward. Wonderful experience!! We are excited to see what the Heavy Lifting sessions bring for us.

I am trying and praying to hang in there. I did some verse mapping with Numbers 11:14 today. I believe that I am hearing God’s voice and I’m thankful for that.

Otherwise, my husband and I have not connected today. He worked at his computer all day; in fact is still there. He has scheduled later this week for us to look at the Heavy Lifting Follow Up program. Given my issues with priority and performance for the crowd, I’ll admit that I am struggling to stay engaged. I also know that spiritual warfare exists and believe that not everything is spiritual warfare.

We both agree that this is the best thing that we have done so far for our marriage. We were able to express  to each other things that never came up in prior counselling.

I feel like we have been equipped with tools that when we get into conflict, we will be able to handle it better. I was reminded to keep God front and center, because only He can help us heal and give us wisdom when we face challenges.

It was a wonderful weekend. We learned a lot about how to communicate and how to keep working towards trust . The coaches were wonderful and so were the other couples. Sandy cove was amazing. We are planning to start the 15 week videos and heavy lifting. We both feel it definitely helped and changed our marriage for the good. Praising the Lord for His faithfulness in redeeming our marriage.

The intensive was wonderful and we really, really learned a lot. We were talking on our way home and even this morning about how excited we are to use the tools we have learned. We are truly grateful for all the help you have given us and can’t thank everyone enough.

The weekend went well. Sunday afternoon was a bit intense but that was at the end of an emotionally exhausting weekend. Our coaches were amazing. I appreciate the vulnerability of everyone, including the other couples who came. We were well fed and it was nice to go out as a group Saturday evening for dinner. We are going to continue our journey with the guided heavy lifting sessions. I am encouraged about what the Lord is doing in our relationship.

This weekend was enlightening and definitely caused some serious self accountability.  I think God definitely had our needs met by the coaches as instructors. They were amazing, real and knowledgeable.  It made it easy to let our guard down and the skills digestible.  The other couples were amazing to get to know as well. I think my favorite part was the break out we did where the coach heard us and also gave us some strong feedback. I needed to hear that for sure.

I thought the food was great and nice to have some time outside of learning like lunch and dinner to bond and get to know each other. The B&B was great and the proximity made travel easy.

One of the best tools I am hoping to make a routine is the heart talks. We definitely struggled with talking over each other and bringing other topics into the conversation.

This was an amazing investment in our relationship.  I am hopeful and I know I will have to build a bridge for trust so my wife’s safety can grow.  We are excited to work through the heavy lifting.

We both felt that the intensive was exhausting but very worthwhile and helpful. We are glad that we did it. It will be challenging to take the time in our busy lives to work on putting each other first and to take the time to do everything we need to do, including the follow up online courses. Hopefully we are both committed to doing that.

The intensive was very powerful.  From the moment we checked in at the B & B, to our departure, we knew every detail had been considered. Thank you for your prayers and support. I am actually hopeful for restoration.

We have really taken the information and have already started to apply it. We really needed to work on ourselves as a couple since we always work on helping make our kids better people. We loved having time with the coaches and how real they were with all the couples. The other couples were lovely to have there as well. We all brought our own struggles but we were willing to be vulnerable that first night to help us all open up.

For us the biggest takeaway was the “heart conversations.” One of our biggest struggles was communication, either because we did not feel safe communicating our feelings or because when we did it was too aggressive and done in an “attacking” way. So this will help us to create a safe space moving forward and help set ground rules to make sure we are only communicating feelings and not attacking, or being received as an attack when it is not.

The coaches were wonderful with us and with the others in our group. One of our biggest fears coming into this was that we would come and it would be “one sided” in some way.  The coaches did an excellent job in speaking truth, giving encouragement, and confronting the both of us with some hard truths that each of us needed to confront, as well as affirming for each of us the things we each did well.

We both left feeling renewed and confident in our marriage and determined to use the tools we learned, and continue with the “heavy lifting” assignments over the coming weeks and months.

We came home with a renewed sense of commitment to our marriage and an understanding that we need to work at communicating better. On the drive home, we were able to identify where we’d gotten off track, talk about those things and apologize to one another and offer forgiveness. We laughed more and talked more than we have in months…maybe years!

We both agreed this weekend was worth every penny we invested, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!  We’ve already told another couple from our church about it, and they’re planning to check it out as well.

We are incredibly grateful for the gift we gave ourselves (and our family) this past weekend!

We are doing well. The weekend was challenging and encouraging.  The coaches are anointed to do the coaching job!  They got us through everything and did it well.  The exercises we practiced there, we have been trying to incorporate in our daily lives.

From start to finish The Marriage Hub has been amazing to work with. I love efficiency and you guys have nailed it! We are praying about how we may participate in the future to encourage others who are troubled to press on in their marriage.

Thanks for taking us. Thanks for giving us tools to get past what has happened and to move forward in God’s grace and in the fullness of the life He has for us.

The weekend was good and we’re glad that we went. It will be helpful moving forward. We appreciate the skills that were taught and are excited to implement them into our marriage.

The intensive was quite helpful and gave us space to learn and get intentional with the hard work that needs done. The framework for this work is lucid and clear.

The coaches were delightful and their caring is very obvious.

Thank you for helping us get to this spot we are in – which is God filled and optimistic.

We are doing well and left the intensive with more hope than when we entered the intensive. Our coaches referred to the intensive as a reset for our marriage. It does feel like the resetting process has started. We’re looking forward to that continuing.

I thought the intensive was wonderful. We really had a few breakthroughs and I think we’re going to make it. But I’d lie if I said things have been wonderful since we got back. There’s still a lot of pain to work through. But I had a great talk with my coach today and she gave me really great advice. I hope we keep the momentum going into the online course. Fingers crossed 🤞
