Marriage Intensive - Sandy Cove Ministries

The Marriage Hub presents:

Marriage Intensive at Sandy Cove

October 10-12, 2025

Have you drifted beyond "discouraged" to "desperate?" Have you realized your marriage won't get better without help? We have help!

Your interest in a marriage intensive means you believe there is still hope for your marriage. That's all we ask ... that you can still see a flicker of life and are willing to fan that flame back into a meaningful marriage. You owe it to yourself, your spouse, and your children to make that effort.

Acknowledging your need for an intervention -- or a miracle -- is the first step to transforming your relationship. You might believe you're too far apart, hurt and damaged, or too far gone to save your marriage. We believe that our time together can help you stop the craziness so you can begin putting your relationship with God and each other back together again.

May we encourage you to make at least one more try before you choose to extinguish the flame of your marriage forever?

What is a Marriage Hub Marriage Intensive?

It is a Three-Day Group Intensive

These marriage intensives are more than a couple's weekend retreat. They are intimate, personalized coaching sessions designed to help you identify and address your specific needs. Intensives are more powerful than one-hour counseling sessions because they keep you both focused on your issues for an extended period. You will receive approximately 15 hours of personalized counseling, coaching, and attention in a group setting over your three days in our very accommodating and all-inclusive marriage counseling retreat experience. We customize our sessions to meet your needs.

Most people have apprehensions about marriage counseling in a group format ... yet we've found that couples can't stop talking about how helpful it was for them. Also, independent research shows that men show higher satisfaction levels in a group format than in individual settings.

Where are these intensives held?

We want you to escape the distractions and daily routines that complicate your life so you can focus on yourselves and your marriage. You will be our guests here at Sandy Cove, staying in the Chesapeake Lodge, and eating meals at The Water's Edge dining room.

Your job is to concentrate on yourselves and your marriage. Our mission is to focus on you.

You will receive:

15 hours of personalized attention from 1 coaching/counseling couple
Two nights of lodging
All your meals are included
Follow up program

We accept up to five married couples per session.

Your next step is to call The Marriage Hub at 833-482-4968 or email info@themarriagehub.com. They can answer your questions, help you decide if an intensive is appropriate, discuss cost and payment information, and get you registered! Reservations will not be made directly through Sandy Cove.

It was a pleasure to be with them (Bruce and Karen) during our sessions. They have an authentic and true desire to see our marriage thrive. Their concern for helping us through the areas of our relationship that have been road blocks comes through during the sessions and afterwards during the down times of the intensive. They navigated us through some heated and tough discussions to bring us back to the reality that our marriage relationship and covenant is for a lifetime. Let’s focus on the good that can come out of it. Enjoyed them and continue to appreciate and support their ministry.
