How Does it Work?

Unlike weekly counseling, Hope Restored offers an immersive marriage intensive that allows couples to address deep issues in a focused, supportive environment over just a few days.

Focused, Immersive Care

Couples spend 3–5 days working with licensed Christian Therapist using Focus on the Family’s proven marital therapy model.

Supportive Environment

Lodging and meals are included, allowing you to fully engage without everyday distractions.

Continued Support

Aftercare resources and coaching options help couples continue the progress they begin during their intensive.

The Therapy

Most couples attend Hope Restored as part of a small group intensive. In this setting, Therapists teach, guide, and work with couples together while also providing focused, personal interaction with each couple throughout the experience.

This approach allows couples to:

  • Learn alongside others facing similar challenges
  • Receive direct attention from counselors within the group setting
  • Apply insights to their own marriage in real time

(Private intensives are available as well.)

Is This the Right Next Step for Your Marriage?

This Intensive May be a Good Fit if You:

  • Feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed
  • Are facing infidelity, betrayal, or deep conflict
  • Have tried counseling without lasting progress
  • Need focused help now, not months from now
  • Want a Christ-centered, clinically informed approach

This May Not be the Right Fit if:

  • You are seeking individual therapy only
  • You are not ready to engage honestly and fully
If you’re unsure, our team can help you discern next steps.
