Testimonials
We got so much out of the couple's retreat.........Blown Away!
Can't say enough about it, got so much out of it
We were nervous about spending the money, it was the BEST investment we have ever made!
Hesitated on going as no alcohol all weekend, today I realize how great it felt not to be hungover, to have so much fun with my wife, sober, and realize I love her more than ever this weekend! I look forward to attending more of Marla's retreats!
This is not my thing at all, told my wife I didn't want to go at all, for not being my thing, Marla sure made it my thing!
I resisted coming to this retreat for several days, my fiance encouraged me, i'm so glad I did, I needed this weekend more than I ever realized!
My husband and I had so much fun, we joked together the way we did when we dated years ago, we wrestled and napped and really enjoyed ourselves!
We had a great time! Thanks so much for all of the hard work! Marla, you are a very special person.
Watching the men open up so candidly!
Everyone was so real!
LOVED THIS RETREAT!

Dr. Karas, Brent, afternoon of PLAY and talking with other couple's!
I liked the intoduction and how quickly people opened up.
Something about this setting allowed people to be very honest and brave!
I liked burning things we wanted to let go of, it seemed cheesy, but was surprisingly cathartic.
Brent showed us some very good things!
Conflict resolution techniques from Dr. Sally, understanding where our triggers come from and lots of time to talk/hang out on the beach/intimate moments with spouse!
