Recommendations for Marriage Retreats
Hi again,
Just had a quick question for the community: has anyone been to any marriage retreats that they would highly recommend? Preferably a Christian retreat associated with a church or some sort of religious organization, but I am open to any suggestions.
I have wanted to take my wife on a retreat for years, but I haven’t found any that stood out as really good or anything like that. If anyone knows of any on the West Coast (CA, UT, AZ, OR or near there), I’d be really appreciative of the recommendation! Preferably one that is pro-sex, or at least helping sexless marriages, or something along those lines.
Thanks again!
My wife and I have been to “Weekend to Remember” many times. It’s a great experience and we will return for the 5th time this year. They don’t purely focus on sex or sexless marriage, but there is one session about sex and intimacy.

Awesome! Thank you so much! I have actually looked into that specific retreat before, so thank you very much for the recommendation. I have wanted to do a marriage retreat with my wife pretty much since we got married, but it just has never happened…thanks again!
Like Wife Lover said. A weekend to remember is a great program. We haven't done it that many times I think only twice, but we will do it again soon. I know they open have one in Bend OR, but I haven't looked further south since we live in WA. We have sent several young or struggling couples through this at church. And have given it as a wedding present for special couples in our lives…
Thanks so much! As I said to Wife lover, I have looked into that very retreat before! I am stoked to hear some good endorsements for it. We have wanted to explore marriage more over the years and have read some self help books and stuff on libido, but when you are reading on the internet or just books, it can be a bit lacking…I've wanted to get her into a bigger group of likeminded individuals with similar struggles and goals and push us to be the best version of husband and wife we can be for each other. I'm gonna go see what the cost is and when the next one is!
Weekend To Remember is solid. They have them all over the country. And they are having a sale right now.
We’ve been twice: Napa and Monterey. Our kids went to Skamania Lodge near Portland.
That seems to be the consensus! Thanks again for the recommendation! We’re gonna try to make it to the one in OC!
