The Great Marriage Getaway is the Southeast’s premier marriage-enrichment retreat.
It happens October 16-18, 2026. Just imagine….
A chance to travel with your spouse….to go somewhere….to do something meaningful and memorable.
A peaceful locale up in the mountains...a place that feels romantic and quaint. (Just outside of Asheville, NC.)
A time when the leaves are turning and the weather is cool.
Some time away from your kids! (We love your kids but they aren’t invited. Duh.)
Carefully designed worship/teaching experiences to rediscover God’s big plan for your marriage. (He DOES have big plans for you.) And don’t forget the 20 different breakout options to learn the things you need to focus on.
Guided conversation tools created to help your marriage to thrive. (This is YOUR time away, after all.)
Finally, we will give you plenty of opportunities to laugh, explore, reflect, and dream. Our goal is to make sure the whole thing is a fun and memorable weekend away.
The Great Marriage Getaway is a fun, content-rich, and Biblically-based marriage conference for couples of all ages. It takes place at the Ridgecrest Conference Center just outside of Asheville, North Carolina, and is close to great shopping, plenty of scenic drives/hikes, and The Biltmore Estate.
