1-855-452-0707Let’s face it–every marriage could benefit from some time away from responsibilities, work, and kids to focus on communication and intimacy. But how many people make the time to put their relationship first? Where do you even find the time?
Whether you seek to deepen your connection or reignite the spark, investing time in your marriage is invaluable. If you’ve been struggling to communicate, dealing with fights that build into blowout yelling matches, or just feeling like the flame is missing and you aren’t on the same page, it may be time to work with a relationship coach. The best marriage intensives will pair you and your partner up with your own individual coach to work on issues separately. Your two coaches will come together with both of you to add an additional layer of support, which will allow you to accomplish more in a short period of time.
PIVOT offers a unique marriage intensive that supports each of you as individuals and as a couple. Through the PIVOT Process, you will learn about yourself and each other, and gain the tools and strategies to strengthen and sustain your relationship. With this unparalleled level of support, you will learn to thrive, separately and together.
What Do the Best Marriage Intensives Offer?
While many couples opt to improve and enhance their marriage through weekly counseling sessions, the time constraints and inevitable distractions often limit progress. If you are looking for a deeper dive that brings rapid and sustainable change, a marriage intensive is the way to go.
The best marriage intensives give you insights into yourself, your partner, and your relationship and its dynamics. They also provide tools to facilitate communication, defuse conflict, and intensify intimacy. This type of retreat provides the dedicated time and safe space to devote to your relationship and each other.
The Best Marriage Intensives Use the PIVOT Process
| PIVOT Technique | Benefit |
| Developmental Approach | The PIVOT Process is based on developmental psychology. It recognizes that problems in adult relationships often originate from childhood traumas and attachment wounds. Healing one’s inner child is essential for letting go of behaviors that sabotage one’s relationship. |
| Individual Coaching | Throughout the PIVOT marriage intensive, each person has a coach who acts as a personal support system. Partners have the space to explore how their personal issues impact their marriage and what they can do about it. This facilitates the deep dive necessary for each person to show up as their best self in their marriage. |
| Couples Coaching | After working separately with their coaches, partners come together and work on their issues as a group of four. Coaches facilitate communication between the couple and can navigate conflict more easily in tandem with the other coach. Communication is augmented when each partner contributes openly to the conversation. |
| Experiential Exercises | Active learning helps participants to absorb and remember new strategies. Through exercises like role plays and simulations, couples try out structured ways to communicate and resolve conflict, thereby replacing the survival patterns that have tripped them up and gotten between them in the past. |
Navigating Marital Challenges With PIVOT
While every couple will benefit from dedicating time and energy to their relationship, the best marriage intensives can be especially helpful for those challenged by:
- Physical or emotional distance
- Challenging family situations (finances, aging parents, etc.)
- Loss of attraction for your partner
- Frequent disagreements
- Infidelity
The PIVOT Process was developed and tested in a clinical setting to support those facing a range of relationship issues. Since these problems often have their roots in childhood traumas and the early attachment wounds of one or both partners, it helps to work with an experienced relationship coach certified in this evidence-based process. They can help you identify the origins of conflict in your relationship and provide you with tools to promote healing so you can move forward more cohesively as a couple.
