Location, Location, Location
At LIFE Marriage Retreats we have come to the inescapable conclusion that location matters. It is our experience that relationship growth and healing occur most naturally in places of beauty, peace, and harmony; special places where nature and its healing touch are all around. These four Marriage Retreat locations are representative of our commitment not only to making our Couples Retreats even more accessible, but to helping create an environment where healing occurs, trust grows, communication flourishes, and reconnections of hearts is experienced. We welcome you.
San Diego, California
Our roots run deep in this special place. For years couples have come here from all over North America to experience the healing power of a LIFE Marriage Retreat. Some give names to the dolphins we see most every day. You will meet Ralph, the one-legged pelican whose good natured disposition is hard to resist.
The lapping of the waves is part of the soundtrack of the Retreat experience. We watch for the mythical “green flash” as the sun sinks into the Pacific each night.
The rhythms of ocean, earth, and sky permeate your very body and soul—tensions fade, peace fills you, and your life and loved one are brought into a greater clarity of infinite possibilities.
Enjoy the comforts of your own bed and bath suite in the beautiful beach house that rests right on the sand. Learn the principles and skills that define every successful relationship against a backdrop of a masterful natural creation.
Sundance, Utah Mountain Cabin
Gerry Dye, one of LIFE Marriage Retreat’s founders and trainers, has taken training programs to five continents and 48 countries and describes Sundance and its mountain vistas as “one of the five most beautiful places on earth.” You will understand why the local Indian tribes called the Wasatch Mountains "the backbone of Mother Earth."
Located just an hour from Salt Lake City and set on the flanks of majestic Mt. Timpanogos, Sundance is the perfect combination of rock, trees, waterfalls, glaciers, and wildlife. Awake to the morning call of wild turkeys, feel your breath catch at the glimpse of a bull elk. Make friends with squirrels and jays who will eat from your hand.
As in every LIFE Couples Retreat location, you will find comfort and privacy in your bed and bath suite, and enjoy pleasant moments in the hot tub or just sitting in the old wooden rocker on the deck.
Come and soak in the peace as well as the strength of this incomparable mountain setting.
The Inn Above Onion Creek, Texas Hill Country
Convenient to Texas, Louisiana and much of the Southwest and Gulf Coast
We do not often entrust any third party with helping us to create the perfect atmosphere and environment for our Marriage Retreats. The Inn at Onion Creek is the rare exception.
Just 20 miles from Austin, The Inn is easily accessible for Texans and couples from the entire Southwest and Gulf Coast region. The Hill Country is renowned for its beauty and variety of landscapes with countless lakes, rivers, and streams glittering among the green hills.
Wildlife is abundant with deer, antelope, and myriad birds regularly sighted. Long walks through the peaceful woods are described as something like a visit to a sacred cathedral where you can commune with your loved one and with your own spirit.
Your bed and bath suite will be comfortable and your surroundings filled with the delightful sights and sounds peculiar to a great country Inn. Unique, accessible, peaceful. Join us at the Inn Above Onion Creek.
Mayan Riviera, Mexico Beach House
Convenient to Florida, Texas, Georgia, Louisiana and all of the Southeast and Gulf Coast states.
Did you know that Miami, Florida is only 500 miles from Cancun, Mexico and the flight is just over an hour? Texas, Georgia, and Louisiana are also just a short and inexpensive flight away. We have selected this most beautiful location in all the Caribbean largely to serve our Gulf Coast and Southeast couples.
As you travel south from the excitement and fast pace of Cancun you will soon come to peaceful and beautiful Playa del Carmen. There you will find the perfect setting for the experience of a lifetime.
Our location is renowned as the most beautiful home in Playa del Carmen with ocean views to match. Your private suite has its own private entrance out to the beach, so enjoy that midnight stroll. The sounds of ocean waves and the call of seabirds will both soothe and excite you.
What could be better and more healing than the warmth of Mexico and its friendly people combined with the sparkling blue of the Caribbean Sea? Join us on the Mayan Riviera.
Economic Awareness Package
LIFE Marriage Retreats offers the best Retreat experience at the fairest prices in the industry. With our Economic Awareness Package we are seeking to offer our services at an even more affordable price to couples who might be feeling the effects of recession and financial hardship. Both small group and private Retreats are available at these locations.
Our two Utah cabin locations (these are not the same as our Sundance, Utah venue), one in the high alpine Wasatch Mountains; the other in a desert lake oasis on the edge of the Great Basin, are close to nature but a little off the beaten track. The cabins are comfortable but without some of the luxuries offered at our other locations.
But the curriculum and format are almost identical to our other locations, the dining experience is excellent, and you can expect the same renowned results as those experienced at every LIFE Marriage Retreat.
