What couples are saying.
Sarah & Mike T. / Naperville, IL
We were 48 hours from signing divorce papers. The Hit Pause Weekend didn't just save our marriage, it gave us tools we never learned in 20 years together. We're not just staying together; we're thriving.
Jennifer K. / Schaumburg, IL
My husband refused to come. I went alone and learned how to stop 'pushing' him away. Within two weeks, he noticed the change. Within two months, he asked about attending together. We just celebrated our 15th anniversary.
David & Lisa R. / Oak Brook, IL
After his affair, I thought we were done. The weekend taught us the 'why' behind what happened and gave us a roadmap to rebuild trust. It's been 18 months and we're closer than ever.
Marcus & Amy P. / Chicago, IL
We weren't in crisis, just disconnected after kids. The Hit Pause Weekend showed us we'd been living like roommates. Now we have date nights, real conversations, and actual intimacy again.Read More Success Stories
