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 regular 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

  • 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.

  • We offer 3 plans for Thrive: the Roadmap is a one-time payment for all access. The Community is designed as a 12-month journey and members choose to pay monthly. The Journey includes both the 12-month cohort, 12 monthly 60-minute marriage counseling sessions, and the marriage intensive in October.

    We do not offer refunds.

  • We have three options for you:

    Option 1: We would be happy to help connect you with a 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.

  • Thrive is a faith informed program. Most of our members are currently involved in a Christian community and we will dip into the theological basis for a variety of topics. However, this is not a bible study. We will not be praying or opening the bible or having heavy spiritual conversations. Please reach out if you have more questions.

Is Your Marriage Thriving?

Not sure if Thrive is right for you? That's OK! Our Marriage Assessment can still give you a quick picture of your marriage and offer a few tips to help it grow!
