Groundbreaking Results
Hope Renewed and Love Redeemed
A Marriage Intensive’s success is expressed in the self-evaluation
of the participants: whether they found that the retreat was conducted
in a professional manner, whether they found it conducive to healing,
and whether their expectations for their marriage have moved in a
positive direction.
More than 85% percent of participants who stayed together one year
after marriage intensive retreats like those held at the Clearing
reported that they were satisfied with their marriages.
Testimonials
- G.M., a registered nurse who attended an intensive in Georgia
because she feared she was headed toward divorce, said, “I felt
emotionally isolated. We would argue about money and all the
things couples argue about. But the retreat was life-changing
and truly a miracle.”
- A.J. from Chicago wrote, “With the help of
Robert and Erin, Steve and I identified the patterns in our marriage
that were ineffective and causing frustration. Together we
made a conscious decision to leave behind the painful patterns and
to seek a new structure.
- A frequent comment among couples has been that, “We left Egypt and crossed the Jordan into the wilderness where we are seeking new communication skills and fresh methods of showing our love.”
- One intensive graduate from Florida says “I will only say that
our marriage is new again…something I had almost given up on.
Other than the birth of my children, it was the most life-changing
experience of my life.”
