Marriage ENHANCEMENT Retreats
(Limited to a maximum of 5 couples)
Asking ... “What’s missing ... Where has the passion & heart gone?”
Drs. Miller and Petrasek have over 40 years of combined experience working with  couples and groups to invigorate and renew their relationships. We believe that marriage is a sacred vessel in which two individuals can navigate the swirling waters of life. Marriage is about love and commitment and about respect for the uniqueness of our partner.
Couples face many challenges on their journey. Our daily lives are fraught with hardships, competing expectations, compelling demands, and the harsh currents of life in a modern society. It is easy to get lost during our journey. It is easy to want to steer in opposite directions. Drs. Miller and Petrasek find joy in helping couples reset their compass and put wind back in their sails.
Renew your mind, body, spirit, and heart connections with each other.
We are looking forward to working with you and sharing in your adventure.

Looking for a More Private Experience?
Some couples have tried marriage seminars, workshops or ‘boot camps’ in group sizes that have limited the attention and depth of processing necessary for repairing the relationship. We offer private and intensive couples counseling experiences in half-day, full-day, weekend, or 3-day (weekday) formats. Call for details and available dates.
Looking for More?
After completion of the Marriage Enhancement Retreat, couples may register for a more intensive Retreat Experience. Call for more details.
