At Riversong Inn Retreat, our licensed therapists have designed a transformative 3-day experience rooted in the research of John Gottman and his bestselling book The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work — combined with the Fair Play Method and guided connection tools.
This is a self-guided experience with video/written prompts. This isn’t therapy – it is a structured, intentional reset for couples who want to reconnect, realign, and recommit.
Over three immersive days, you and your partner will:
Rebuild your friendship foundation with updated “Love Maps”
Learn how to turn toward each other in small, daily moments
Practice conflict tools that actually work in real life
Clarify household & emotional labor using the Fair Play framework
Identify the dreams beneath recurring conflict
Create shared values, rituals, and a practical weekly check-in system
You’ll work through guided exercises using:
Gottman’s 7 Principles framework
Fair Play card deck
A Riversong Marriage Journal
Curated conversation cards
Structured reflection time by the river
This retreat is ideal for couples who:
Feel busy, disconnected, or out of sync
Want to prevent small issues from becoming major ones
Are good partners but know they could be great
Value growth, intention, and emotional maturity
Whether you’re five years in or twenty-five, this experience helps you recalibrate with clarity and compassion.
Nestled along a private river in Estes Park, Riversong provides the quiet, beauty, and intimacy your relationship deserves. Between sessions, you’ll enjoy:
Private suites
River walks & mountain views
Afternoon tea or fireside wine
Quiet journaling space
Restorative time without distraction
Space is intentionally limited to preserve intimacy and depth.
Couples don’t leave with just inspiration — they leave with:
A conflict blueprint
A fair division of labor plan
Weekly connection rituals
A shared values statement
Written commitments for the future
And most importantly — renewed warmth, understanding, and partnership.
They happen by design.
