THE WEEKEND

Two mornings, six conversations

Each topic runs the same way: a short teaching piece, a group conversation where sharing is always your choice, then twenty minutes in a private breakout room with just the two of you. I drop in on each couple.

Saturday · December 12

How you’re wired, how you talk

Your Couple Report — strengths and growth areas
Expectations you didn’t know you had
Personality: where you fit and where you rub
Communication that survives a hard week
Conflict — what yours actually looks like
Sunday · December 13

Money, family, closeness, direction

Money: habits, history, and the joint plan
Closeness and flexibility — your family maps
Romance, affection, and keeping it on purpose
Goals: the marriage you’re actually building
Your next steps, together and separately
You’ll complete the Prepare/Enrich assessment before the weekend — about 30–45 minutes each, taken separately — so we start with your real relationship instead of a generic curriculum.

BEFORE YOU REGISTER

Is this the right fit?

This is for you if

You’re engaged, seriously dating, or newly married and want real preparation, not a checkbox
You’d rather do it in one focused weekend than stretch it across a month
You’re in Texas and want the certificate — or anywhere else and just want the prep
You both can be on Zoom, on camera, for two full mornings

This isn’t the right fit if

You’re looking for couples therapy — that’s a different service, and I offer it privately
There’s an active crisis, betrayal, or safety concern that needs attention first
Only one of you can attend — this is couples-only, both partners, all eight hours
You want individualized depth — the private four-session Vows & Values™ program fits better

  • No — it's relationship education, delivered in a group format. That's what makes it open to couples outside Texas and what keeps it outside insurance. If you're looking for couples therapy, that's a separate service and I'd be glad to talk with you about it.

  • Yes. Both partners, both mornings, all eight hours — that's the format, and it's also what the Twogether in Texas certificate requires.

  • Yes. It's virtual and open to couples anywhere, run on Central time. The Twogether in Texas certificate and the marriage-license discount are Texas-only — check your own county's rules if you're elsewhere.

  • Right after you register. You'll each get your own link and complete it separately — about 30–45 minutes. Please finish within 72 hours of registering so I have time to prepare your report.

  • $245 holds your spot. The $400 balance is due November 24. If the intensive doesn't reach its minimum and I cancel, your deposit is refunded in full. If you register after November 24, payment is $645 in full.

  • The next Vows & Values™ Intensive is January 9–10, 2027. You can also do the private four-session Vows & Values™ program on your own schedule.

Questions couples might ask



GOOD TO KNOW

Eight couples. One weekend. The marriage, not the wedding.

Registration closes December 4, and the assessment takes a few days to turn around — the earlier you're in, the more your report shapes the weekend.
