WHO ARE WE? 

We are a nationally recognized, distinctively Christian Marriage Counseling Ministry that specializes in crisis marriage situations.

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?

  1. We specialize in working with distressed couples- with great success.  Every year hundreds of couples come from all over the country- thousands over the last 19 years, with 86% of crisis marriages restored.

  2. We have a team of trained professionals working with a proven process that is based on Biblical precepts as well as leading research on marriage relationships today. 

  3. We offer a premier marriage renewal experience at a an affordable price, unlike other high-cost therapy programs that run $2000-$3000.

  4. We provide an environment that is safe and non-judgmental, allowing individuals to heal and overcome the barriers between them and a thriving marriage.

  5. Individuals and marriages are restored by finding healing, forgiveness, spiritual renewal and practical skills and tools to build a healthy, fulfilling marriage.

If your marriage is struggling and you feel like all hope is gone, you've come to the right place. The pain of divorce impacts a family deeply, and affects generations to come, but the good news is there is HELP and there is HOPE...

Why the Traditional "Hour-a-Week" counseling approach is Ineffective  for Struggling Marriages...
 
     If you had a serious medical condition and needed surgery, would your doctor do the surgery "an hour-a-week" - for 20 weeks  until it was done?  Of course not - and that's why Cornerstone's intensive, marriage counseling retreat is so effective. It allows for couples needing urgent care to heal their relationship over a three-day, 22-hour marriage healing, intensive weekend. Once this "major surgery" has been accomplished, couples are able to achieve a thorough and speedier recovery in their marriage.

    Trying to heal a marriage in one-hour, weekly marriage counseling sessions is ineffective because most issues can't be resolved in a one-hour session. In a one-hour session, often by the time the couple gets to the root of an issue--it's time to end the session. As a result, couples often end up opening up old wounds and then leaving discouraged, feeling more hopeless than before. Yet, over 87% of couples who come to our Marriage Renewal Retreats and seminars leave re-committed to their marriage,'' including even those where there's been infidelity and/or separation.
 
A Word From Marriage Expert Dennis Rainey  President, FamilyLife
 
"This ministry has already made a difference in the lives of thousands of couples. Their work translates into lives that have been changed, marriages saved, and families strengthened. That's why it's with complete pleasure that I wholeheartedly recommend Cornerstone Marriage & Family Ministries."
 
What Is a Marriage Renewal Weekend?
     
    Cornerstone's nationally acclaimed marriage counseling  retreat consists of a 3-day/2-night, 22 hour marriage intensive weekend. A Confidential Marital Questionairre as well as individual assessments are administered to help identify relational issues.
 
    Our team of experienced Christian counselors walks you and your spouse step-by-step through guided exercises that reveal the hidden barriers keeping your marriage from thriving, and guides you in taking the steps to resolve your issues, heal  your relationship and rebuild a healthy, more satisfying marriage. After the weekend a series of four Follow-Up sessions and optional private tele-coaching sessions helps you make changes and maximize your momentum.  
 
     You and your spouse will be challenged and empowered to take an honest look at yourself and your marriage, deal with relevant issues, heal hurts, put the past behind, and rediscover the experience of love in your marriage.

What our Marriage Renewal Weekend is NOT?
 
 
NOT  merely an informational seminar where you sit in a room with lots of people, take lot of notes, then go home and  try to do the work of repairing your relationship on your own.
 
NOT Group Counseling  Unlike other programs that utilize various group counseling techniques, our program involves neither group counseling nor group disclosure.
  • Nobody is asked to share anything about their issues with other couples in a group. To have to talk about marital problems in a group can be not only embarassing and uncomfortable, but also counter-productive and detrimental to the healing process.
  • Our format is more private and comfortable,  offering couples the safety and confidentiality they need to communicate through tough issues and successfully resolve conflicts, solve problems, and heal hurts in their relationships.

In a post-retreat survey of participants who attended a Cornerstone  Marriage Counseling Retreat or Workshop, 87% reported they reconciled their relationships and recommitted to their marriages.*
 

    By the end of the weekend in our marriage retreats, most of the couples have resolved the hurts and issues causing their pain. Once their relationships are reconciled, barriers are removed, and in most cases affection is restored. Then couples are equipped with the skills and tools to create and sustain a healthy marriage.
 
    Cornerstone 's marriage counseling retreats utilize a biblical, experiential, guided approach that is the most powerful format for restoring marriages we have ever seen. Developed over eighteen years working with couples in crisis who feel stuck and hopeless, our program has proven effective in restoring 4 of 5 marriages and has helped thousands of couples overcome their  barriers and experience the kind of caring, intimate marriage they long for.

Can A Marriage Really Heal After An Affair?
In the early stages of recovering from adultery most couples don't know if healing can be accomplished, or much less, how to go about it.  But here are some suggestions to help you know how to begin...

The Determining Factor in the Outcome of Your Marriage... Experience shows that having anger, resentment, feelings of apathy toward your spouse, or even feeling hopeless about your situation is not the determining factor in the outcome of your marriage. When you come to "A New Beginning," Marriage Counseling Retreat with a willing spirit and engage in the process, you can expect a miracle because that's what we see most often!
 

A Proven Alternative to Traditional Marriage Counseling... God created us and gave us His design and principles for building a successful, healthy marriage that is loving, intimate and caring. When you're up against seemingly insurmountable problems, a Christian marriage counseling retreat can help you understand and apply Biblical principles and solutions to your problems. Cornerstone's Marriage Counseling Retreat is a proven, highly effective alternative to traditional marriage counseling that has helped thousands of couples discover the blessing of an intimate, caring marriage. With God, "nothing is impossible" and your marriage can be transformed into a healthy relationship.

If you're reluctant to consider a Christian marriage counseling retreat... Take heart, you're not alone. When it feels like you can't see the forest for the trees, maybe it's a good time to seek an outside perspective. A Christian marriage counseling retreat may be helpful for what you're facing. Rest assured, Cornerstone's Christian Marriage Counseling Retreat isn't the stereotypical picture of you lying on a couch talking about your childhood, and how you were potty-trained. It's not some group version of Psycho-analysis. 

Cornerstone's Christian marriage counseling retreat utilizes biblically-based teaching and skills training, along with private experiential learning exercises, prayer, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the application of Biblical truth to address problem areas related to behavior, relationships, or emotional conflict. There is a big difference between marriage counseling and a Christian marriage counseling retreat

"What I liked best was learning how to talk through problem areas without all the angry upsets and arguments"

Engineer, San Antonio, TX Married 9 years

----------------

"We almost didn't make it...At one point on the drive down, the communication got so bad, I got out of the car and started walking away. And I came...thinking "This is our last chance, if it doesn't work, I give up, I'm done." Me, my husband, and my marriage were set on a different course. We found answers and set us free from core issues that were ruining our marriage."

Singer/Entertainer, Atlanta, GA, married 13 years,

----------------

"I had decided that I would just live silently unhappy, because I know divorce is not what I promised. My husband and I no longer communicated respectfully and I only came because I figured I have to do my part before I can say it just won't work. Thanks to the process of the weekend, I now have a happy home..."

Real Estate Agent, married 16 years

--------------

The retreat is not conducted in a "group counseling" format nor do we ask anyone to share about their problems in the group setting. Our program utilizes a guided, nore private, experiential approach, consisting of training modules designed to walk you and your spouse through a healing process, while equipping you with effective communication tools designed to empower you and your spouse to communicate step-by-step through sensitive and difficult issues, and resolve your conflicts successfully.

Couple breakout sessions provide for individual and couple time for exercises including intra-personal and relationship assessment, healing hurts, needs exploration, processing of issues, and conflict resolution. Our team of trained counselors are there to guide and support you, and work with you privately in the specific areas you need help with.
