A CLOSER LOOK

What to know about LIFE Marriage Retreats

LIFE combines a scheduled marriage program with accommodation at selected retreat locations. The venue is part of the experience, so choosing a date also means checking which property, room arrangement and program format that date actually uses.

Locations

  • Sundance, Utah
  • San Diego, California
  • Asheville, North Carolina
  • Texas Hill Country, Texas
  • St. Augustine, Florida

BEFORE YOU GO

The experience, in more detail

Choose a location and a date

LIFE lists Sundance, San Diego, Asheville, Texas Hill Country and St. Augustine as retreat destinations. The current calendar has a September 30–October 3, 2026 retreat in Sundance. Texas and St. Augustine have no retreat planned; future dates for the other destinations are not listed. In Sundance, couples stay in a private bedroom and bathroom suite in a mountain cabin.

Changing your dates

The published terms allow payments to move to another available retreat within 12 months when a change is requested at least 21 days ahead. A change inside 21 days carries a $499 fee. This makes the booking date and travel commitments worth coordinating before you pay.

Cancellation is a separate policy

A permanent cancellation more than 30 days before the retreat is refundable less $299. Within 30 days, LIFE describes case-by-case charges that increase closer to arrival. Ask for the terms attached to your specific booking, especially if you are arranging flights or taking time off work.
