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
Site of our lowest-priced Retreat
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
The Texas Hill Country is more than just a beautiful geographic location. It also represents a lifestyle and ambiance that is a reflection of Texas graciousness and hospitality.
We often host Retreats at the award winning bed & breakfast, The Inn Above Onion Creek, located just 20 miles south of Austin. We do not often entrust any third party with helping us to create the perfect atmosphere and environment for our Marriage Retreats. The Inn above Onion Creek is the rare exception. A little farther west and deeper into the Hill Country in the Lakes region, we hold Retreats on the shores of one of the magnificent lakes that dot the area.
Whatever the location in the Hill Country, 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 this awe inspiring region. Unique, accessible, peaceful. Join us for a Marriage Retreat in the Texas Hill Country.
Mayan Riviera, Mexico Beach House
This location is over one thousand miles from Mexico border towns where violence has been reported. No such violence has been reported in Play del Carmen/Yucatan.
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.
New Jersey Coast
Introducing the newest LIFE Marriage Retreats destination: The Beautiful New Jersey Shore
Close to New York City, and within easy traveling distance of Philadelphia, Boston, D.C. and other Northeastern cities, the New Jersey Coast is an ideal, and idyllic setting in which to experience all that a LIFE Marriage Retreat has to offer.
The New Jersey Coast is mere miles away from New York, but its expansive beaches, quaint villages and magnificent vistas are worlds away from the sometimes hectic and frenetic pace of the city. This beautiful setting provides a soothing backdrop against which the healing powers of a LIFE Marriage Retreat can take root in your soul, and in your relationship.
While you will be immersed in the retreat itself, in your free time you will have the opportunity to comb the beach looking for sea treasures, visit one of the charming villages in the area, or experience one of the many light houses which dot the New Jersey Shore.
