Explore the WeekendLimited to six couples.
A Different Kind of Valentine's Day
Time to enjoy each other, experience something different, have conversations you don't always make time for and simply be together.
Relationship by Design is an invitation to celebrate what you've built while becoming more intentional about what comes next.
The Invitation
Life moves. People grow. Circumstances change. And the person you know better than anyone can still surprise you.
What if you had the opportunity to step outside your everyday routines and look at each other, and your relationship, with fresh eyes?
What might you understand differently?
What might you rediscover?
And what might you want to create together from here?
That's where Relationship by Design begins.
The Framework
The weekend is built around four simple ideas that guide the experience.
Understand yourself a little differently.
Stay curious about the person beside you.
Notice how you communicate, interact, respond and connect.
Be intentional about what you're creating next.
The Weekend
Thursday Afternoon
Arrive, get comfortable, meet the other couples and enjoy the beginning of the weekend together.
Friday
Explore who you are today, what has changed and what you're bringing into this season of your relationship.
Saturday
Become curious about your partner again. Explore how you communicate, connect and navigate life together while enjoying time and experiences as a couple.
Sunday Morning
Bring the weekend together by thinking about what you want to carry home and what you'd like to create together next.
How We Spend the Time
We'll introduce ideas, questions and practical tools throughout the weekend, but much of the meaningful conversation happens between the two of you.
Sometimes we'll learn together as a group.
Sometimes you'll have a conversation as a couple.
And sometimes you'll simply enjoy being away together.
Beyond the Agenda
Relationship by Design is intentionally a combination of learning, experiences and simply enjoying being together.
The Setting
That's why we choose properties that feel special the moment you arrive and give couples an opportunity to experience something different together.

Our Story
We have spent years around entrepreneurs, leaders and couples who put enormous thought into building meaningful lives.
We've also learned something in our own relationship: you never completely finish getting to know the person you've chosen to build that life with.
People change. Relationships change. Life changes. And there is something pretty remarkable about continuing to discover each other along the way.
With love,
Jean & Brian

You've built a life together. You've shared remarkable days, weathered difficult seasons, and grown in ways you may not even realize.
Relationship by Design is an invitation to step away from the everyday, experience something different together, and become curious about the relationship you're creating.
Explore the WeekendLimited to six couples.
A Different Kind of Valentine's Day
A few days away together can create space for something that everyday life rarely allows.
Space to slow down. To laugh. To talk about more than schedules, responsibilities, and what's next.
Space to remember why you chose each other in the first place, while becoming intentional about where you're going next.
The Invitation
They grow. They change. They move through seasons.
Sometimes the most meaningful thing you can do is pause long enough to notice what's happening.
What do you love about the person beside you that you don't say often enough?
What have you learned about yourself since you first said, "I do"?
How has your relationship changed as your life has changed?
What do you want the next chapter to look like?
Relationship by Design creates the space to explore those questions together.
Not through lectures or formulas, but through meaningful conversations, shared experiences, reflection, and time together.
"The goal isn't to create a perfect relationship. It's to become more intentional about the relationship you are creating together."
The Relationship by Design Framework
Throughout the weekend, you'll explore four dimensions of your relationship.
Understand who you are today, what matters to you, and how you've grown.
Become curious about the person you're sharing this life with and discover what may have changed.
Explore the patterns, strengths, experiences, and stories that make your relationship uniquely yours.
Imagine what's next and become intentional about the life and relationship you're continuing to create.
