"We feel more like roommates than partners."

You love each other, but between work, kids, and daily stress, real conversations have been replaced with quick check-ins—who’s picking up the kids, what’s for dinner, when the bills are due. And when you do try to talk about something deeper? It either turns into an argument or one of you shuts down.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

In fact, we know that a lot of couples come to retreats like this because one person really wants to be here… and the other is just here for the hotel stay. (And hey, no judgment—we totally get it.)

Good news—this isn’t group therapy.

No awkward sharing. No forced participation. Just real, practical tools to:
✔️ Communicate clearly—without frustration or defensiveness.
✔️ Handle disagreements without them turning into full-blown fights.
✔️ Feel heard, understood & connected—without hours of deep “relationship talks.”

Most couples don’t struggle because they don’t love each other. They struggle because no one ever taught them how to communicate in a way that actually works.

Who is the retreat for?

This isn’t just for couples in crisis—it’s for any married couple who wants a stronger, more connected relationship.

→ Married couples feeling emotionally disconnected

→ Married couples who want want the strongest marriage possible

→ Married couples who want to build healthy communication habits

No pressure. No participation required. Just a relaxed space to learn and grow together.

  • "Russ and Danielle share their own personal and marriage struggles with such inspiring humility. For the first time in our eleven years of marriage, we experienced what it's like to turn conflict into a growth opportunity—something I would never have believed was possible."

  • "Looking forward to using tools learned. Loved the phrase "tell me more," which makes me feel like I am being heard, even if we don't agree."

  • "Thank you so much for sharing your workshop with us! We loved your energy and the casual tone of the session. It helped to open a conversation specifically on our emotional safety and how we can improve the way in which we communicate our frustrations and needs. We appreciate you and all the insight you shared with us today."

  • "Emily and I both loved it! It was a great refresher for us both. We are both encouraged and are looking forward to re-implementing our weekly check ins. That’s one thing we have not been doing lately. Marriage is not easy as y’all made very clear in your presentation. It takes work. It takes effort and that needs to be told to the masses. You and Russ are an inspiration to Emily and I."

  • "My wife and I have met with Danielle and Russ in group and individual settings for years, and I seem to continue to learn something new every time we are with them!"

RUSS + DANIELLE WEST

We’ve been where you are.

For years, we struggled with miscommunication, stress, and unresolved conflict. We loved each other, but we didn’t know how to talk about the hard stuff without it turning into tension.

We spent two decades in proactive couples counseling, learning what actually works when it comes to communication, connection, and handling conflict in a way that brings you closer instead of further apart.

Now, we’re sharing those same proven tools with you.

📅 When: August 14 - 16 (5:30pm on Friday through 10am on Sunday)
📍 Where: Avalong Hotel
🍽 Bonus: Desserts, breakfasts + lunch on us!
