My husband Ron is the typical man who resisted marriage counseling. The cruise gave us hours for conversation, and the classes… have brought us back to an appreciation for this life we had together. We look at each other more and at our phones less. We smile and touch and talk more.
Our lives were devoted to raising our children, and now that they are launched, it seemed like our purpose… had ended. This week has helped us to set goals and look forward to the next phase of our relationship together, just the two of us.
We wanted to... pick up some of the pieces after several challenging years of caring for aging parents and raising teenagers... We can share more with each other now to identify our emotions and break out of the cycle we were stuck in. The exercises were so helpful.
An Intimate & Relational Experience
Many marriage events are designed like large conferences—inspiring, but impersonal. We believe true transformation happens in a smaller, safer setting. Our cruises are intentionally limited to a small group of couples, which means you'll have direct access to Caleb and Verlynda for questions and guidance. More importantly, you’ll build deep, lasting friendships with other couples who are walking the same path and cheering you on.
Guided by Specialized Marriage Therapists
Instead of a variety of speakers, your entire retreat is personally guided by Caleb and Verlynda. They aren't just influencers; they are trained and specialized marriage therapists with 15 years of experience. Their guidance is forged from thousands of hours of professional counseling, helping real couples find wholeness and restoration from very broken places. You are not just being taught; you are being mentored by seasoned professionals.
Empirically-Validated Methods, Not Clichés
While you will leave feeling encouraged, our primary goal is to equip you for lasting change. We teach empirically-validated methods rooted in proven therapeutic models. You won't find simple platitudes or Christian clichés here—you'll receive practical, effective skills to transform your communication and deepen your intimacy, all within a grace-filled, faith-based framework.
Your guides for the week are Caleb and Verlynda Simonyi-Gindele, founders of Therapevo Counselling Inc. As specialized marriage therapists with over 15 years of experience, they have a deep passion for combining clinically-proven strategies with a faith-based perspective to help couples build a marriage that doesn't just survive, but thrives.
What truly sets them apart is their authentic, down-to-earth approach. They teach not just as experts, but as a real couple who has navigated challenges themselves, creating a safe and relatable space for you to learn and grow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Our couples come from all stages of life, from their 20s to their 70s, newlyweds to those celebrating 50+ years together. The tools and principles we teach are universal, and the small-group setting fosters wonderful connections between couples of all ages.
This is a very common concern, and we've designed our sessions with your comfort in mind. While there is group discussion, the majority of the deep, personal work happens privately between you and your spouse. You will never be required to share anything personal or sensitive with the larger group. Our priority is creating a safe space for your connection.
We maintain a perfect balance between the retreat and your vacation. Sessions are strategically scheduled, often on days when we are at sea, leaving you plenty of free time to enjoy the ship's amenities, explore the beautiful ports of call, and have romantic dinners and downtime, just the two of you.
Yes, modern cruise ships have excellent accessibility features. If you or your spouse have specific mobility needs, please let us know when you inquire, and we will work with you to ensure you have a comfortable and accessible stateroom.
Yes, the cruise line offers excellent onboard youth programs and childcare services for children over a certain age. However, services for infants under 1-2 years old can be very limited. We recommend this be a getaway for just the two of you to fully invest in your marriage, but we can provide you with the cruise line's specific childcare facilities and policies upon request. Compared to other cruise lines, Celebrity has much less children on board as their ships are oriented more towards couples than families.
