Couple's retreat

Creating space for the most important conversations

Every quarter, Lisa and I take a couple’s retreat to reflect on our relationship and dream about the future. They are some of the best weekends of the entire year—spacious and uninterrupted space to deepen our relationship and set intentions about the chapter ahead. I’m learning that one protected weekend is worth a thousand small conversations, and that it’s far more important to carve out the space than to set the agenda—without fail, the most important conversations surface when we create the space for them.
