"It has literally meant my life. I came here hopeless, defeated and frankly dismissive of my marriage. And like the "wandered off sheep", my shepherd found me and carried me back. It was worth it. I accepted the truth of what God has said of me. With this knowledge my wife and I will 'rebuild the ruins, repair the cities, and accept beauty for ashes, honor for shame and everlasting joy' Isaiah 61:3-7" -Texas

"I have read many marriage books and attended marriage seminars, but htis intensive really helped to get to the root and it showed a different way of connecting and hearing my husband's heart.

I will recommend the Hideaway Experience to any couple who thinks there is no hope left." -Texas

Each day God revealed to me through the counseling work of my own and listening to the work of others, the lies that the evil one planted in my heart and mind years ago.

"After almost 25 years of what I thought was a perfect marriage led by a perfect husband, I learned that I had inappropriately controlled my wife causing great mental stress and virtually a nervous breakdown for her. As a professional, I sought private counseling for myself, encouraged private counseling for my wife, and read almost every book I could find. Unfortunately, after months of this practice, my wife and I made little progress. Without question, with the intervention of God, we were able to attend the Hideaway Experience. Now, after 4 days of hard work, we have made great progress and I have no question that we have the practical tools to have a God-inspired marriage that will be not only great for us, but also for our kids and their kids. Thus, I end with two words.....JUST COME."-Texas
