How We Love: Weekend Marriage Intensives

  • Guiding House Counseling - The Loft (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

NEW: Marriage Intensives at:

Guiding House LOFT 4429 Fulton Dr. NW Canton, Ohio 44718

Deep Healing. Real Tools. Renewed Connection.

Space is limited to 1 couple per weekend starting Sept 12th-13th. Reserve your spot by calling or texting 330.778.2919.

When your marriage feels stuck, it’s time for a breakthrough.

Maybe you’ve tried talking… and it turns into the same fight.

Maybe you’ve been drifting apart, unsure how to find your way back.

Or maybe you still love each other deeply, but life has buried the joy and connection you once had.

A Marriage Intensive is designed for couples who want real change — not months of inching forward, but two days of focused, uninterrupted work with a therapist who will guide you toward healing, understanding, and a renewed connection.

Over two powerful days, you will:

• Identify and break the painful cycles that keep you stuck

• Discover how your unique “love styles” shape your relationship

• Rebuild safety, trust, and emotional closeness

• Leave with a practical plan you can use every day to keep growing together

Your investment: $2,000

This includes 10 hours of professional counseling, assessments, personalized resources, and all materials.

Your marriage is worth this time.

Your marriage is worth this energy.

Your marriage is worth this investment.

What You’ll Experience

10 Hours of Therapy

• Step 1: Pre-Intensive Assessment (1 hour) Before we begin, you’ll meet with Ellie for a diagnostic session to ensure you’re ready for the intensive process.

She will look for:

• Willingness to engage in the Comfort Circle (touch, sustained eye contact, emotional regulation)

• A shared commitment to the relationship (not “one foot in, one foot out”)

• Readiness to do the work—this is not a space for deciding whether to stay together, but for building something stronger.

• Step 2: The Intensive (9 hours over 2 days)

Friday Evening – The Present (3 hours)

• Explore current relationship challenges

• Discover your unique love styles

• Unpack how these styles create your core patterns.

Saturday Morning – The Past (3 hours)

• Explore childhood experiences that shaped your attachment style

• Learn to heal together using the Comfort Circle

Saturday Afternoon – The Future (3 hours)

• Identify your core pattern triggers

• Learn concrete steps to step out of those patterns when they arise

• Step 3: The Follow-Up

• A personalized report & action plan to keep you moving forward

• A tune-up session to review progress and make adjustments

Why Choose a Marriage Intensive?

• Condenses months of counseling into one focused weekend

• Addresses root causes, not just symptoms

• Gives you proven, practical tools to use for life

• Creates a safe, structured environment for honest conversation and reconnection

Who This is For?Couples who are:

Committed to staying together

Able to engage in healthy physical touch and eye contact

Ready to work through challenges in a safe, guided space

Not for couples in active high-conflict or those undecided about staying together

Based off of the highly acclaimed book "How We Love", by Milan and Kay Yerkovich.
