“Dancing Through Connection”
February 14, 2026 · North Dallas Ballroom · Limited to 20 Couples
Attire: Semi-Casual (Bring ballroom dancing shoes)
This Valentine’s season, join marriage and family therapists Deon & Bridgette Reed for an unforgettable one-day couples retreat designed to help you rediscover closeness, joy, and emotional intimacy, one step at a time.
Held at a beautiful ballroom studio in North Dallas, this immersive retreat blends the elegance of ballroom dancing with the proven science of healthy relationships. Through guided movement, laughter, and research-based exercises, you and your spouse will learn to communicate, attune, and move together with renewed harmony, both on and off the dance floor.

Reignite emotional and physical intimacy through movement and mindful connection
Learn evidence-based tools from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and social psychology
Strengthen teamwork, trust, and emotional safety through simple, fun dance-based activities
Develop a personalized vision plan for your marriage and family
Enjoy meaningful conversations, delicious food, beautiful photo ops, and a memory-filled Valentine’s experience
Whether your marriage feels strong or stretched, this retreat offers the perfect rhythm to reconnect, reset, and renew.

FAQs
Is this a Christian marriage retreat?
Yes. We integrate biblical principles, prayer, and faith-centered encouragement with practical, evidence-based relationship skills.
Is it therapy?
No. This is an educational retreat led by licensed therapists, but it is not psychotherapy and does not create a therapist–client relationship.
If you’d like individual or couples therapy, you can schedule that through our private practice.
Where is the event?
North Dallas.
Our final ballroom location will be announced to registered guests.
