The first five minutes after work
A small habit we've recommended on retreat for years — and why the first few minutes after work usually decide the tone of your evening.

A marriage ministry shaped by three decades of life, love, and learning. We walk with couples through retreats, premarital conversations, and the everyday work of a marriage that’s still growing.

“A weekend in the Hills — and a marriage that came home a little closer than it left.”
Rooted Marriage retreat · Hill City, SD
Meet Greg & Sue
We’ve been married a long time — long enough to know we don’t have it all figured out, and long enough to know what usually helps.
For the last twelve years we’ve walked alongside couples at retreats in the Black Hills, across kitchen tables, and in the seasons of marriage that ask the most of us. We aren’t licensed therapists. We’re practitioners: what Scripture says, what we’ve lived, and what we’re still learning.
If any of that sounds helpful, you’re the couple we built this for.

“Twelve years of sitting with couples taught us one thing — it’s never too late to grow together.”
A weekend in the Black Hills. Honest teaching, quiet conversation, and room to grow together.
For couples preparing to say ‘I do’ — the conversations worth having before the wedding day.
Not licensed therapy. Scripture, experience, and a place to think out loud, together.
Retreats & Events
Our retreats are small by design — space to breathe, pray, and do the work of growing together.
