What is the theory behind this Marriage Retreat Worksheet?
A marriage retreat can be a very therapeutic experience for couples seeking a break from their mundane lifestyles. It can also be helpful for couples navigating their way through conflicts and misunderstandings. Among many things a retreat can help them explore their relationship and celebrate the good while vowing to work on the bad aspects. Some time together away from the hustle and bustle of their regular lives, couples can enjoy some quality time to renew their vows and work on shared goals.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet will help couples on a retreat to use some of the quiet time together to pen down an appreciation letter for each other. The exercise is meant to refresh their memories about the strengths and likable factors that made them fall in love in the first place. It will give them a much-needed break from the usual misunderstandings and fights to take a moment to appreciate their partner’s strengths and why they value them for it.
How to use the worksheet?
This worksheet can be one of the many exercises that a marriage retreat has planned for couples. This worksheet can be used at the later stage of the retreat when both of them have gone through a significant time together to identify their problem areas and work on how to overcome them. They have to pen down a letter to the other where they express their love and appreciation for them.
