LIFE Marriage Retreat Counseling vs. Traditional Marriage Counseling: Why Retreats Are Your Best Option

When it comes to finding locations for traditional marriage counseling, Los Angeles, San Diego and other large California cities offer many options. However, these cities are capable of providing more than just couples counseling. Los Angeles and San Diego are also exceptional locations for couples retreats. LIFE Marriage Retreats offers the perfect Southern California setting for marriage counseling retreats filled with beauty, peace, and an ambiance conducive to healing relationships.

LIFE Marriage Retreats lead you to reconnect you and your spouse by resolving relationship issues and building a solid foundation of fundamental principles in the marriage through highly effective experiential training and one-on-one sessions with LIFE counselors. So what’s the difference between LIFE Marriage Retreat Counseling and traditional marriage counseling? The differences are substantial:

LIFE Marriage Retreat Counseling

  • A four-day retreat in a small group setting that includes, among other relationship and life-enhancing processes and activities, highly productive private counseling sessions
  • Addresses and helps resolve the most important relationship issues in four days rather than over a period of months or years
  • Focuses not only on resolving issues but also leads the couple to unite and uplift each other through experiential activities and focused time together
  • Relationship skills learned and practiced at the retreat expedite the counseling and healing process while attaining better and more lasting results

Traditional Marriage Counseling

  • Can take months or years to see positive results
  • Depending on the program, offers only brief weekly or bi-weekly sessions
  • The counselor is often put in the position of a referee rather than a guide to a mutually accountable and healthy relationship
  • Those seeking counseling often feel there are too many and too long of breaks between sessions, prolonging the heartache and putting off success

Essentially, couples who participate in LIFE Marriage Retreats instead of attending traditional marriage counseling sessions see faster, more positive results.  If you and your partner have been searching for Los Angeles marriage counseling, carefully consider what might best fit your needs and preferences. “One size” does not fit all when it comes to marriage counseling. Southern California offers an outstanding marriage retreat option for relationship counseling (Los Angeles and San Diego are both convenient to our LIFE location).

What Are Some Specific Benefits of LIFE Marriage Retreats?

Choose carefully as you seek the best marriage help program for you. A LIFE marriage counseling retreat Los Angeles and our LIFE Marriage Retreat San Diego provide outstanding results, location, and value. We are committed to helping you create positive lasting change in your marriage. Participants who have attended retreats offered by LIFE have made the following statements:

“Traditional marriage counseling just did not seem to work for us. Just when we might be starting to make some headway the session would end and we would quickly revert to negative stuff when we returned home. The concentrated experience offered by LIFE was exactly what we needed.”

“Our experience at LIFE Marriage Retreats completely changed our relationship for the better. In our (traditional) counseling sessions it seemed that the same conversation and arguing was repeated at session after session. But at the LIFE Retreat we felt positive growth every day.”

“We accomplished more relationship growth and healing in a four-day LIFE Marriage Retreat than in    more than a year of regular counseling. The fact that LIFE continues to work with us in the LIFE AfterCare program is a big bonus as well. “

“Our (traditional) counselor advised us to get a divorce, even when both of us were committed to saving our marriage. At LIFE we found trainers and counselors that are as committed as we are to building our relationship, and who helped us do just that.”
