Divorce-proof Your Marriage
Weekend adventures designed to understand your spouse deeper and explore new ways to see them.
A Healthy Marriage Takes Effort
Life never seems to slow down, so it’s easy to put your marriage on cruise control. That’s usually when the bumps happen. A weekend marriage adventure is a great way to refocus on each other and the marriage God has given you.
We Follow His Lead
There are many frameworks, models, and gurus that make promises for your marriage. But we’ve modeled our retreats after how God designed marriage to work, and we believe it changes everything.

Hey friend,
I may not know you (yet!) but there’s a strong chance you want to see your marriage grow stronger and healthier.
Your marriage may be strong and you want to take it to the next level. Or maybe you wish your marriage was doing more than just limping along. Whatever your situation is; you want more for your marriage—and that’s a big deal!
That’s why DGR was founded—to help couples develop great relationships. Since opening our retreat center in Pella, we’ve helped over 800 couples pattern their marriage after the heart of Jesus, and it’s life changing.
I’d love for you to give us a call.
