Thrive Marriages is the in between of marriage counseling and conferences ReStory Counseling.
 

Welcome to Thrive Marriage Lab

What if God has still more for your marriage?

Does this sound like you?

  • You want to enrich your marriage, but you don't want to just read a book.

  • You know you could work on some things, but you don't really need marriage counseling.

  • You've been to marriage conferences, but you're looking for regular input, ongoing support, and a community of growing couples.

  • You're tired of relational auto-pilot.

 

Don’t take our word for it

    Immediate, On Demand Access to the Thrive Marriage Mini-Courses (Story, Communication, Sexuality)

  • No problem. Since every member has 24/7 access to the Thrive library, you can review any missed items at any time.

  • While the Thrive Marriage Lab is designed for couples, you are welcome to participate even if your spouse does not.

  • Thrive is designed as a 12-month journey and members choose to pay monthly or annually. Thrive is not a course, but a subscription service. Think of it like a gym membership - you can use it as much or as little as you like. At the end of your first year, we offer a deeply discounted All Access Pass.

    Occasionally, if Thrive members opt to pause the Lab to pursue marriage counseling with Restoration Counseling, we can arrange that.

    We do not offer refunds.

  • We have three options for you:

    Option 1: We would be happy to help connect you with a Restoration Counseling ReStory™ marriage specialist. Our team is ready to serve you, and can do so virtually from anywhere or in-person in Fort Collins, Colorado.

    Option 2: Tracy and Chris offer 3-Day Marriage Intensives. Please see ReStory Intensives for more details.

    Option 3: Once a year we offer a 4-day group intensive for members only in Colorado. Only 6 couples join Chris and Tracy.

  • YES! There's an app for that!

    Of course, you can access Thrive from any web-browser anywhere. You will receive login instructions upon joining.

    But to make it even more accessible, you can download the Kajabi app on your smartphone as well. Use the same credentials to log into the app, and Thrive will be right there waiting for you.

  • Lots of people are asking about pre-marital membership! When is it right for a not-yet-married couple to join? The answer is YES. If you're engaged or certainly headed toward engagement soon, Thrive is for you, too.
