CoupleStrong Couples-Marriage Intensives

What Is a Marriage Intensive?

A Marriage Intensive is a private, personalized therapeutic experience lasting two full days. Unlike group retreats or standard counseling, this intensive is designed for just one couple at a time, ensuring complete focus and tailored support.

Your therapist will be Chris Cambas, MA, LMFT, Certified Gottman Therapist, who brings nearly 60,000 hours of experience working with couples. Chris has also played a key role in training over 50,000 therapists nationwide, making him one of the most sought-after professionals in the field of relationship recovery and enrichment.

Through 11 hours of focused counseling, you and your spouse will:

• Gain clarity on what’s really driving your struggles
• Learn how your personal histories and emotional patterns impact your relationship
• Practice communication and conflict tools in real-time
• Reconnect emotionally, physically, and spiritually

The result? Breakthroughs that last—whether you're on the verge of separation or simply seeking a powerful relationship reset.

Backed by Research

Numerous studies confirm that concentrated therapy formats like intensives produce faster and more durable results than traditional weekly models—especially for couples in distress. The uninterrupted time fosters emotional safety, deeper vulnerability, and rapid insight that simply isn’t possible in shorter sessions.

According to the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, couples who engage in intensive therapy report greater satisfaction and sustained improvements long after the experience.

What to Expect

Your Marriage Intensive includes:

• A full assessment of your relationship history, dynamics, and current struggles
• Tailored interventions based on the Gottman Method and other evidence-based approaches
• Real-time coaching and feedback from Chris Cambas, MA, LMFT

• A warm, confidential, and judgment-free space to heal and reconnect

Common issues addressed:

• Affairs, emotional betrayal, or secrecy
