What couples are saying:
 We have been married over forty years and I think this course was one of the greatest marriage investments we have made." -M & J, Poulsbo, WA

After 39 years of marriage and several marriage encounters, this is the best marriage retreat we've ever been on!"
-J & R, Issaquah, WA


"I appreciated new ways of communicating with my spouse in a non-threatening position and acknowledgement of the virtues and strengthening relationship tools with more effective, loving techniques."  -B.B., Seattle, WA

The content was rich in engaging activities and virtues.  We had the chance to meet with other couples who had the role of strengthening our experience and being of great support and enlightenment to a better practice in our relationship." - F & R, Amman, Jordan

"We know this strategy of Companioning quite well, and have used it for years. Not only has it been a HUGE support for the raising of our daughters, for the past 25 years, but is also a key pillar in the strength of our marriage. To feel heard, seen and held in supportive arms of love and acceptance is a phenomenal gift."- Cynthia & Steven Wand, Salt Lake City, UT

​
"I really appreciated Pete and Betsy' kindness, care and respect for us in every aspect of this marriage retreat."
-K.A.- Camano Island, WA

My husband and I both enjoyed meeting others from around the US and globe who had completed the same meaningful assignments provoking laughter, gratitude and that highlighted areas for common and individual growth intellectually, spiritually and emotionally.  The fact that it was taught by both a husband and wife encouraged myself and my husband to trust the process.  Our trust was never threatened and has inspired my spouse and self to learn communication skills we now cherish.  We have been married over forty years and I think this course was one of the greatest marriage investments we have made." -M & J, Poulsbo, WA
​    
"Thank you Betsy and Pete, for helping us grow closer together." -M & R, Seattle, WA
