Do conflict or struggles in your relationship often get pushed back onto the back burner?
So often the crises of the moment pushes us to leave this to deal with another day. However, most couples in trouble trace the crisis they are in to many moments like this left unattended.
Don’t let the crises of the moment keep you from responding to problems in your relationship. Let a Hold Me Tight® weekend retreat help you get back on track.
In just two days, you’ll build skills to:
- Help you move away from negative patterns of conflict that are keeping you apart
- Increase your emotional responsiveness
- and rekindle your desire and affection for each other.
Get the relief you need so you can face these crises together. Facing problems together – with the right skills – can actually make you stronger and more resilient as a couple.


The Hold Me Tight® program has the highest rate of success for couples, proven by scientific research.
