Build a strong and resilient marriage and get personalized support.

If you are experiencing a serious medical condition and need major surgery, would your doctor do the surgery “an hour a week” for 4 – 20 weeks until it was done? Of course not – and that’s why The Excellent Marriage’s one-of-a-kind Intensive Marriage Counseling options are so effective. Even more, it allows couples needing urgent care or couples in crisis to heal their relationship over a Half Day, 1 Day, or 2 ½ Day Intensive.

Therapeutic Process

Unlike many Intensive Marriage Counseling programs, Therapist Deona Frierson works with one couple at a time. Typically, the couple would participate in a number of double private marriage counseling sessions (240 minutes). It could be one double session or two per day. Also, note that Educational tools are part of the therapeutic process. Most of all, my goal is to equip you with new insight and tools that will give you hope and healing for the future of your marriage. The cost is $300 per hour. Intensives can take place during the week (Monday through Friday), or on a pre-scheduled weekend.

INTENSIVES ARE DESIGNED FOR COUPLES WHO:

  • Desire quick results
  • Experienced an Affair or Infidelity
  • Are experiencing significant distress in their relationships
  • Are unable to attend traditional therapy each week due to scheduling conflicts or work commitments
  • Live out-of-state

HALF-DAY INTENSIVE (4–6 HOURS)

These 4-hour sessions – the equivalent of a full month of therapy – are for couples who are on the verge of imminent separation or divorce.

1 DAY INTENSIVE (8-10 HOURS)

This session helps by assisting couples in connecting and exploring the root causes of marital dissatisfaction.

2 ½ DAY INTENSIVE (16–20 HOURS)

These 2 ½ days are geared toward couples who have experienced an affair or are extremely disconnected, separated, or divorced. Similar to our marriage counseling retreats, this option, which can be considered a marriage-intensive retreat, allows you to separate from day-to-day activity to primarily focus on the marriage.
