“Though we have 42 years of marriage, we learned how to refine our communication skills to help us grow even closer.”
Tom Hopkins, Virginia

"My husband was very reluctant about attending. And even though he admitted that the presentation was well done, he stated that he wouldn't be interested in attending again...UNTIL a few days later when I started venting. He decided to do what Dr. Robertson advised to "prove that it didn't work." And as he sat beside me on the bed and just listened, he suddenly started fighting off a smile. Now my husband rarely smiles or laughs. So finally I stopped talking and asked him what was going on. He said, "It works!" He then told me that he was doing a test of the advice and as I vented I did exactly what Dr. Robertson had said I would do. I started out crazy and ended up saying that I wasn't really mad at him, just disappointed! My husband then asked me to email you and tell you that he will definitely attend if you have a follow up retreat! What a change in attitude! Thank you so much for giving our marriage such excellent help. Even if we can only follow it once in awhile, it will make a big difference."
Donna McAllister, California

"I think that the seminar gave us some tools for better communication with each other. I like the goal setting and making appointments to resolve issues - valuable tools to help combat the actions Satan is taking on the family."
Robert Conger, Ph.D., California

"I loved the step-by-step help in problem listening. My husband and I will both benefit from the practice and extra help we received here."
Melissa Rawlings, Utah

"I think it was very helpful to engage in controlled listening and sharing exercises - it 'forces' us to see and attempt effective communication skills that couples would probably never try on their own."
Seth Stewart, Utah

"It's always a great chance to get away, but sometimes we end up arguing about dumb things, but we were forced to concentrate on making each other happy."
Patty George, California

“It was worthwhile. We really had a lot to talk about just during lunch – we’ve already come to a better understanding of certain aspects of our marriage.”

"This MYM retreat really helps you to understand why your spouse behaves the way he/she does. It helps you to realize you aren't the only one to feel a certain way and it gives you opportunities to then continue to work on problem areas."
Kim Deakyne, Florida

"I wasn't crazy about coming, but I'm glad I did. I can now make my relationship with my wife even better. It is not confrontational and allows you to see yourself and spouse in a different way."

"A Magnify Your Marriage retreat helps with communication and relationship skills. It would be valuable for newlyweds and those who have been married a while, or a LONG time."
Patti Markham, Florida

"This seminar is really quite entertaining. I learned so much about the basics of who I am. Understanding me helps me understand others' relationships with me, most importantly - my spouse."
Alicia Jenkins, Florida

“It’s mind boggling to learn how many conflicts come from our gender and behavioral differences. Understanding them makes the problems so much easier to deal with. I knew there were things I need to change; You helped me see them.”

"This will give you insights into the inner workings of your spouse. And it will give you the tools to continue to propel your marital relationship further towards that celestial goal of being together forever."
Jeff Oldham, Florida

“I enjoyed the games with my spouse. It got us talking. I think we got a lot from asking one another what we think one spouse ‘would do’ in circumstances. Your seminar got us thinking about our long-term goals as a married couple, but also as we rear our children and how we want our children to see us interact in a positive way.”
Julie Azares, Utah
