HOPE WEEKEND
AND INTENSIVES

"Life changing...Impactful... Absolute game-changer, forever transformed."

For highly stressed couples contemplating divorce, or couples seeking a deeper connection.​If your marriage is in crisis, we ask you to block out three days of your life and go “all in” to get the breakthrough you desperately want and need from a Hope Weekend experience. If you cannot commit to the entire three day process, please do not sign up. The stakes are too high for your marriage and family to walk into this experience half-hearted. 

OUR VISION FOR HOPE WEEKEND
IS SIMPLE

We want to transform good marriages into great marriages, and we want troubled marriages to be healed and restored so more children will grow up in happier, healthier homes.

 

One of the many “lessons learned” from doing relationship and marriage education work since 1998 is that most couples don’t know HOW to build and sustain a healthy marriage.  Nobody ever taught us the critical skills needed for a life-long marriage.

 

We ask you to block out three days of your life and go “all in” to get the breakthrough you desperately want and need from a Hope Weekend experience.  If you cannot commit to the entire three days, please do not sign up.  The stakes are too high for your marriage and family to walk into this experience half-hearted.  

 

Hope Weekends provide specific, practical, attainable skills to help couples:

 

  •  Reconnect and develop/restore trust

  • Promote a greater sense of "Us" and oneness 

  •  Experience deeper levels of intimacy, knowledge, and understanding of one another

  •   Learn the essential relationship skills required to develop, maintain, and sustain a deeply bonded and connected relationship

  •  Strengthen your core communication skills 

  •  Learn proven conflict resolution skills that work through problems without tearing one another apart

  •  Develop emotional regulation and increased EQ (Emotional Intelligence)

  •  Heal from accumulated relational pain

Did you know the average cost of a divorce is over $30,000?

Our Hope Weekend, comparatively, costs only $1,499 per couple (does not include food or lodging) and for more than 20 years we have an over 80% success rate in turning the most troubled marriages around (including those who have already started divorce proceedings).

IS DIVORCE THE BEST OPTION?

About The Instructors

Jimmy and Angie Cash have been married since 2004, and have a big, blended family of seven children, and six grandchildren. Jimmy spent twenty-six years in public service, and retired from law enforcement at the rank of Captain. Angie spent twenty years as a nurse, and was once awarded National Nurse of the Year by the US Dept. of VA. Both successful in their careers, over the years they lost their ability to communicate and became miserable roommates. After a five week separation period, “friends” gave the two a less than one percent chance in surviving. A pastor friend referred the couple to Live the Life, and soon both learned things about themselves and each other that “they did not know, that they did not know.” They learned and practiced communication skills that helped them resolve conflict in a healthy way, implement a plan on how to earn back and restore trust, and increase emotional and physical intimacy. Hope Weekend accelerated their growth as a couple, and they made exponential gains in their intimacy, trust and restoration during the process of the Hope Weekend retreat. Jimmy and Angie allowed God to not only heal but renew their marriage. Transforming their marriage, God also turned what was once their pain, into their passion and their purpose. Both left their promising careers and joined Live the Life. Angie is now a pre-licensed counselor at Rural Pathways in Tallahassee and volunteers as co-instructor at Hope Weekends. Jimmy is the Deputy Director of the Tallahassee office, and serves as the primary instructor for Hope Weekend.

2 DAY MARRIAGE INTENSIVES

A Marriage Intensive, as the name implies, pairs a trained pastoral counselor or relationship coach with one couple for two or three full days of exploration, education, and skills development. As a couple learns new tools for communication, intimacy building, and conflict resolution those skills are put into immediate use to build the lasting marriage both desire.

DO YOU NEED US TO COME TO YOU.png

This Skills-based approach recognizes that there are basic emotional and relational needs common to all human beings. Relationships can be torn apart by past hurts and brokenness as well as by unmet emotional needs in the present. Using the best tools of psychological and behavioral research, our Marriage Intensive Instructor and Personal Marriage Coaches help clients identify past hurts, unmet emotional needs, and self-defeating behavioral patterns which may be hindering personal growth and relational health. The goal of Skills Based Counseling is to assist couples in discovering new ways of thinking and behaving that will help them develop a healthy and satisfying marriage.
