A CLOSER LOOK

What to know about The Marriage Restoration Project

The Marriage Restoration Project organizes its intensive around a specific communication framework. Its marriage-work focus should be distinguished from a resort package: the clinical program and the couple’s accommodation or travel arrangements need to be understood separately.

Locations

  • Baltimore, Maryland
  • Austin, Texas

BEFORE YOU GO

The experience, in more detail

A named framework shapes the conversations

The provider calls its approach No Blame, No Shame and describes using Imago dialogue. Ask the practitioner to explain how that dialogue works in an actual session and how they support a couple when a conversation becomes difficult.

The days have different aims

The sample program starts with reducing conflict and understanding the relationship pattern, then moves into practicing communication. Ask how much flexibility there is in that sequence and what you would be asked to practice outside the sessions.

Religious participation is not required

Although the founder is a rabbi, the program information says participation does not require a particular faith. Couples should discuss whether they want any religious context included and confirm how the practitioner will approach that preference.
