No matter how happy a couple is, everyone can think of something they want to be different. Maybe you wish he would come home at five or she would spend less time on the phone. Maybe your differences run so deep they seem irreconcilable. Maybe youâve gotten into such a routine that you hardly remember what it was like to âdateâ each other.
BUT for all the reasons to break the knot, thereâs ALWAYS a reason to tighten it.
Our Marriage Retreats are focused on just that, learning how to tighten the knot that binds us together.
Our past six marriage retreats have been amazing, and we have every reason to believe that âlucky number sevenâ is going to be the best yet!
Since youâre an alum, Iâm emailing to let you know that yâall get first dibs on this yearâs annual Ridge Marriage Retreat. Thatâs right! You get the info first. AND you get to register (space is limited) before we open it to the public. AND, not only that, you also get a discounted rate for registering early! Arenât you special!!
Let me give you a few details:
Place:
Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts
1 Resort Dr.
Asheville, NC 28806
Scroll down for more information on the resort.
Dates:
January 14th-17th, 2022. Yep, you read that correctly (Friday â Monday). Weâre extending the retreat an extra day! The plan is to hold the retreat over the holiday weekend.
Since this yearâs retreat is in Asheville, NC (and because we have an extra day), weâll plan to start our group meetings on Saturday morning. That means youâll have all day to travel up on Friday, so take your time!!
And who knows, weâll probably have a few extra things planned for those who show up early on Friday evening. You never know what to expect on these retreats!
Cost:
$400/couple â Discounted rate for M.R. alums.
$425/couple â Normal rate.
In order to book your room, there will be a $250 non-refundable deposit required for registration. Price includes room/resort fees/state taxes (food and activities are not included).
Weâre also going to ask each couple to take a marriage assessment quiz that will cost $35.00/couple. While this cost isnât included in the registration, we want you to be prepared for the expense during the weekend. This test is really great and will provide a lot of information for great couple discussions. We will provide more details during the weekend.
Activities:
There will be plenty of free time on Saturday and Sunday afternoons to explore the Asheville area. Feel free to take in the slopes at Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, hike the trails at Blue Ridge Recreation Park or plan a visit to the beautiful Biltmore Estate (scroll down for details concerning activities).
This upcoming trip to Asheville seems to be generating quite a buzz. Iâm already hearing people who are really excited about this new adventure. Be sure to register and pay your deposit ASAP!
Shannon and I look forward to these weekends each and every year. I really hope youâll take this opportunity to join us, break away a bit and focus on what Christ wants for your marriage. Together, weâll learn a few keys on how to âtighten the knot.â
