The Details
A Vision for Marriage was a boutique weekend retreat set in the heart of Northern California’s picturesque Wine Country. A chance to step back from day-to-day life and invest wholeheartedly in your most precious relationship—your marriage. No distractions. No responsibilities. Space to rest, reflect, and slow down, so you can intentionally invest in cultivating and strengthening a lasting relationship.
During the retreat we unpacked one of the key elements of a thriving marriage: communication. We explored what a marriage looks like when both people are committed to honest, compassionate, and faith-filled communication.
Participants left feeling inspired by a vision for marriage built on healthy, Christ-centered connection, and equipped with tools to build your own marriage, right away!

"We joined Brian and Ruthie's marriage retreat as the longest married couple in attendance. What spoke volumes was their ability to inspire those married six months to us married 19 years. Their teachings on honest communication, living in vulnerability, and growing in curiosity with your spouse were incredible."

"We absolutely loved the A Vision for Marriage Retreat with Brian and Ruthie! We decided to invest in our marriage for our anniversary — and we are so grateful for the timing of this retreat. It was a good balance of teaching, discussion, group time, and guided question couple time, along with the beauty of the location and much needed rest. By learning intentionality of questions, listening, and communication skills through this retreat, we feel like we have been really positioned to love each other even better in the years to come!"

“We appreciate that Ruthie and Brian curated an experience that was actually a marriage retreat and not just a marriage conference - we came back not overwhelmed by content but rather inspired in our relationship. They created space for us to process and practice what we learned, and they led with a vulnerability that was relatable. We have already hyped our friends and we are excited for Ruthie & Brian's next A Vision for Marriage retreat.”
