“Individual counseling lets you feel better about you and I can feel better about me, but it doesn't teach us how to be a we.”
Feeling like your marriage is on the rocks? It might be time to look into something more intensive. In this episode of 'RelateWell', Dr. Rick Marks and Angelia Savage dive into the transformative power of marriage intensives. Unlike traditional therapy, which can fall short for couples in high conflict, these intensives offer a focused, immersive experience over one to four days.

Dr. Rick, drawing from his own challenging upbringing, shares how these intensives can help couples get unstuck emotionally and rebuild their bond. The episode emphasizes the importance of balancing personal happiness with the collective well-being of the relationship. Dr.
Rick argues that a healthy marriage allows both partners to pursue their dreams while also prioritizing the 'Us'. The episode also touches on why traditional therapy often fails for highly conflicted couples and how these intensives provide a more effective alternative. With practical advice and heartfelt stories, this episode offers hope and actionable steps for couples looking to revive their marriage.
