CLIFF COTTAGE LUXURY B&B INN in the heart of the Historic Downtown of Eureka Springs  will be hosting "Rediscover The Blissful Joy of Marriage" Retreats on certain weekends yet to be announced.  Sessions are designed for couples to create a vision of what it looks like to be sharing a marriage that really works for both of them and then to iimplement the tools for bringing it to fruition.

"These retreats are not only for couples who might be having a few difficulties or even on the total brink of absolute disaster, they are also for those who already have a really good healthy marriage and want to make it even better!" says Sandra CH Smith, innkeeper and retreat organizer.  

Workshops, lead by Eureka Springs residents Mike and Mary Jeppsen who have been married 30 years and who have 11 children,  will include tests to determine your personality type and how it affects your method of communicating,  "games" to hone communication skills, techniques for bringing more intimacy and romance into your marriage and will include some really fun couples' things to do together around Eureka to practice some of the new tools you're working with..

Retreat dates are yet to be announced. Retreats will be held at Cliff Cottage Inn.    The Retreat and Intensives package includes luxury lodgings (jacuzzis or hottubs), gourmet breakfasts delivered to the suites, the workshops, an individualized  romantic vow renewal ceremony for each couple,  plus some special things to do together and yet still plenty of private alone time for you both.

"Participation is sure to make a positive difference in your relationship, not only with your spouse but also with your children and other family members," says Sandra.  "This will be a great chance to dedicate some real quality time for each other and at the end of the retreat/intensive, you'll be on the path to a deeper purpose for your blissful lifelong partnership."
