Why an hour a week of marriage counseling is ineffective for hurting marriages...
If you had terminal cancer and needed surgery, would you let your doctor to do the surgery "an hour a week?" Of course not, and that's why our Marriage Renewal Weekend retreats are so effective. It allows for couples needing urgent care to heal their relationship over a 21-hour intensive weekend. Once this "major surgery" has been accomplished, developing a healthy marriage is do-able.
Trying to heal a marriage in 1-hour-a-week counseling sessions is ineffective because most issues can't be resolved in 1-hour counseling sessions. In 1-hour sessions, often by the time couples get to the root of an issue--it's time to end the session. Consequently, couples often end up opening old wounds and then leaving discouraged, feeling more hopeless than before.
In our Marriage Renewal Intensive Weekends, 86% of couples reconcile their relationship and recommit to their marriage.
By the end of the weekend in our Marriage Intensive Retreats most all of the couples have resolved the hurts and issues causing their pain. Once their relationships are reconciled and the barriers are removed, in most cases affection is restored, and then they are equipped with the skills, tools and know-how to create and sustain a healthy marriage. Over 86% 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 or separation.
Cornerstone 's marriage retreats utilize a biblical, experiential, guided approach that is the most powerful format we have seen anywhere for helping couples who feel stuck and hopeless. Our program developed over 18 years of experience with couples in crisis, has proven effective in helping couples overcome their relationship barriers and experience the kind of caring, intimate marriage they long for. In a survey of our Marriage Renewal Retreat participants, over 80% of the participants reported they were happily married a year or more later.
"We had come to a point in our marriage and were pretty much just leading separate lives. At Cornerstone's Christian Marriage Counseling Retreat we found answers. We were able to communicate and deal with issues in a non-threatening way without all the strife. We resolved issues that had been unsolvable for us for years. We forgave each other. Amazingly today our feelings of affection for each other are stronger than they've been in years. We have a new sense of love and appreciation. We are back on the path and we actually enjoy being with each other again.”
Accountant, Married 17 years, Houston Texas
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," Christian marriage Renewal Retreat with a willing spirit and engage in the process, you can expect a miracle, because that's what we see most often!
"This was our 'Miracle Weekend.' Experiencing the biblical steps to truly forgive my husband and let go was amazing. I've opened up to hearing and accepting what God wants to change in me. Prior to the weekend I didn't believe I was critical or unforgiving, but I saw how I have been both - I have forgiven him, and now I feel free."
Housewife and mom, Married 13 years

How Effective Is Marriage Counseling?
The practice of marriage counseling is being studied to a great extent these days. In a recent Consumer Reports study of the effectiveness of psychotherapy, a reader survey gave lower marks to marriage counselors than other types of therapists. However, a study by American Association of Marriage & Family Therapists shows that families do want therapy and place a high value on it. Although some research studies have shown that marriage counseling is not as effective as was once thought, seeking Christian marriage counseling before problems reach critical stage has proven beneficial in many marriages.
Marriage counseling is not for everyone and there are important considerations to weigh before making a decision. Some couples gain much from marriage counseling while others receive very little from it. Here are some ideas to help you decide if marriage counseling is for you.
