COUPLES ACADEMY IN COLABORATION WITH HEARTLIFE MINISTRIES PRESENTS

NOVEMBER 6TH - 9TH | GRAND GENEVA RESORT & SPA

Celebrating the Resilience of Remarkable Marriages

In partnership with Heartlife Ministries, we’ve created a transformative weekend where couples step away from daily demands to renew, restore, and reconnect.

This experience blends the Heartlife Marriage Getaway—a retreat designed to refresh the mind, rekindle the spirit, and reignite love—with the Phoenix Awards Gala, an elegant evening honoring couples who embody resilience, devotion, and impact.

Throughout the weekend, couples will enjoy meaningful workshops, enriching activities, and moments of pure joy. From deep connection to lighthearted fun, every moment is designed to celebrate the beauty and strength of marriage.

The highlight of the weekend, the Phoenix Awards Gala, is an unforgettable night of fine dining, entertainment, heartfelt vow renewals, and dancing—honoring couples who have overcome life’s storms and now shine as beacons of hope.

Whether you seek renewal, reconnection, or simply an evening of celebration, this weekend will leave you inspired, uplifted, and reminded of love’s transformative power. Together with Heartlife Ministries, we invite you to be part of this extraordinary tribute to the enduring beauty of biblical marriage.

"What God has joined together, let no man separate." – Mark 10:9
