This couples retreat is a valuable experience for every couple. If you have just met your partner, the workshop will help you make the most out of your life together.  If you are struggling with relationship problems, the workshop can provide a quick way to reduce the pain, and understand how to restore connection and love.

Tens of thousands of couples worldwide have attended the Imago Weekend Workshop for couples. Its called Getting The Love You Want because it is closely based on the best seller of that name by Harville Hendrix, Phd, who personally developed this workshop over a 16 year period, and has trained hundreds of Certified Workshop Presenters.

"Take your relationship to a place you have only dreamed of"

 Jennifer, Texas

The workshop is a journey, and at the end you will leave with some insights into how you can create a deeply satisfying and long-lasting relationship with your partner, as well as having learned some skills that can help you to achieve that.

Through exercises that you share with partner, you would explore some of your emotional history, and learn how that influences both the reason you chose your partner, and also the reason that you may both be drawn either now or later into a power-struggle. 

Imago views the power-struggles that occur in relationships as a natural part of love, and also a great opportunity to deepen your love and make the relationship more satisfying.  Within your disagreements with your partner lie important clues about how you can learn to transform you love into something even richer, as long as you can discuss these issues in a way which feels comfortable and positive.

"This weekend creates real hope for the future"

Randy, Texas

That's why during the workshop we teach you how to use the Imago Dialogue.  This is a powerful approach to exploring deep emotional issues and restoring lost connection.  We will ask for volunteer couples that can be coached infront of the class through demonstrations, and then give you plenty of time to practice and apply the dialogue to the insights you develop throughout the workshop.  There's always help close by if you get stuck!

 Sometimes we hear from couples who are concerned about revealing personal information to others.  That's why we set the workshop up so that if you wish you can do all your personal work privately with your partner, and just share with the group if you wish.  We've also learned over the years that one of the most inspiring elements of the workshop is to see other couples going through the Imago processes during the demonstration, and to hear their stories.

By the end of the workshop, most couples leave feeling far more positive about their relationship, and the workshop closes with finding ways to make sure your life is full of caring and romance.

WHAT IS A "MARRIAGE DIVIDEND?"

According to The National Institute of Health (NIH) grantee Dr. Linda Waite, people who marry live longer and are healthier than people who don't.

Additionally, the net worth of married people rises much faster than that of their single or divorced counterparts, according to a study published by Ohio State University researcher Jay Zagorsky. These health and financial benefits encompass what researchers termed "the Marriage Dividend."
