What couples are saying

We attended the intensive in Branson. It was life changing. I was convinced that nothing could change what was going on in our marriage. The counselors were amazing and created the safest environment. We are on a much different course now, and I believe we received a miracle that week. Thank you Focus on the Family, for such a wonderfully eye-opening, life-changing experience.

Upon arrival at Focus on the Family, I was very unsure whether or not our marriage could be healed. I can say with the utmost confidence that through our sessions with the counselors and learning [the tools], our marriage is on the way to being whole in a way that we have never experienced.

Our home felt like World War 3. We came broken, nervous, skeptical, but this past week has been a truly amazing journey. Our marriage has transformed in the past 4 days. The closeness we feel with each other now, we have never felt before. I would recommend this place to any married couple.

When we arrived at the Focus on the Family Retreat Center we had been separated for 2 1/2 months. We had been to four different marriage counselors on and off over 15 years. My husband had told me that he had little hope and that if God didn’t do something big it would be time for “formal separation”. I am thrilled to say that we both have hope and now have some great tools to start operating in a “safe place” with each other.

I came here feeling hopeless, brokenhearted, with no emotion. I felt this was our last chance to heal our marriage. The presence of God in the room was truly felt. It was amazing to feel the love of God come back into our lives and those around us. I am looking forward to returning home a changed man, loving and caring for myself and my wife. I am departing with my most heartfelt emotion – “I love my wife.”

We just experienced an extreme miracle through the Focus on the Family. My husband is military, and it came out that there had been an affair during his recent deployment. We attended a marriage intensive and the therapists were nothing short of anointed. The Lord really showed up. We’ve seen life-changing differences in our marriage. We cannot thank you enough for that.
