A CLOSER LOOK
What to know about Northwest Marriage Intensives
Northwest Marriage Intensives asks couples to invest time before arriving. Its preparation process is a meaningful part of the program, not a short booking form. Allow for that work when selecting dates and make sure both partners can meet the deadline.
Locations
- Sandy, Oregon
BEFORE YOU GO
The experience, in more detail
Reserve several hours for preparation
The provider estimates seven to ten hours of preparation per person, completed seven days before the intensive. The material covers personal history, personality and the marriage. Choosing a last-minute date may leave too little time to complete it thoughtfully.
Materials arrive after the deposit
The website describes sending digital materials within 48 hours, or mailed materials within three days, after receiving the deposit. Confirm the delivery method and deadline with the office, particularly when booking close to the intended start date.
Understand what happens to unused sessions
The published policy does not offer prorated refunds for unused parts of a package, including follow-up sessions. Ask which follow-ups belong to the specific package you are buying and schedule them while the plan is being agreed.
