Getting the Love You Want, Weekend Retreats

During our Imago couples weekend retreats in idyllic Hilton Head Island, SC, couples will reconnect with each other through education, interactive exercises, and reflections that will transform the way each views their partner. Couples learn new ways to communicate by practicing the Imago Intentional Dialogue. The workshop is rich in content and relational learning, and couples have opportunities to practice with the educators’ support or privately. This retreat is both experiential and educational. Many couples report that the retreat is equal to six months of traditional relationship therapy. It’s a great option for premarital counseling or for couples in need of marriage counseling to repair ruptures or dive deeper into an already rich connection.

Couple’s Workshops

  • INSTRUCTORS: Colleen & Kevin Kowal

    COST: $900*

    LOCATION: New Wave Christian Church, Clermont, Florida

    DESCRIPTION: The Getting the Love You Want Couples Workshop that has helped thousands of couples is now offered in-person on Hilton Head Island!

    Getting the Love You Want is an intensive workshop in which married and unmarried couples can rediscover the joy and spiritual potential of being together. Participants will learn communication techniques and conflict resolution strategies through individual reflection, written exercises, and by practicing new behaviors with their partner.

    This workshop is based on the theory and exercises described in the best-selling book, Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples by Harville Hendrix, PhD and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD. The weekend is so powerful it has been compared to being the equivalent of six months of therapy.

    This workshop is a wonderful way to start or continue your Imago journey. You will learn communication tools to improve the way you and your partner relate to one another, you will find connections to the ways your past may be influencing your present interactions, and you will practice connecting with your partner in a safe and effective way. This weekend workshop is one of the best things you can do for your relationship.

    *Includes two workbooks that will guide you through the process and help you work with your partner after the workshop is over.

Upcoming Workshops

“I cannot tell you how this weekend changed me, changed us. We were discussing divorce. I feel so close to my husband, and we have hope again.”

“We were not sure about spending an entire weekend on our marriage. Now that I think about that mindset, I am wondering how we ever made it through the challenging times. Now we have a way to talk about the hard things. We learned that we still have a lot to learn about each other.”

“Colleen and Kevin made it real. They taught us about normal conflict and how to repair our relationship after we have a rupture. I know how to talk about things now. I used to completely shut down for days.”

“Learning about my partner’s needs and past pain has made it easier to be patient and try to help my partner heal.”

“We have a good marriage. This workshop has only deepened our connection. I wish we took this class years ago. I want to give the workshop to my children as a wedding gift.”

“Colleen and Kevin are such good teachers. They made this easy for us. We are newlyweds and want to protect our relationship. We both come from divorced families. As kids of divorce, we do not want our kids to suffer through that.”
