Escape. Reconnect. Rediscover each other —
and the purpose that brought you here.

A Weekend Built for Two

Parenting foster and adopted children is one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do — and one of the hardest. The daily battles of trauma responses, attachment challenges, and emotional exhaustion can quietly erode even the strongest marriages.

Our Couples Getaways exist to give you and your spouse something rare: uninterrupted time together. Time to sleep. Time to talk without being needed by someone else. Time to remember why you chose each other and why you chose this calling.

At Respite Ranch, you’ll find a peaceful setting where you can heal from daily battles, draw up plans to meet the challenges ahead, enjoy each other, and regain the sense of purpose that drew you to foster care or adoption in the first place.

Everything is provided at no cost — lodging, meals, and a peaceful environment. All you need to bring is each other.

What to Expect

Every couple’s retreat is different, because every couple is different. Here’s what you can count on:

  • A quiet, private ranch setting in North Texas with room to breathe
  • Three comfortable rooms with private baths so you can truly relax
  • Nourishing meals provided — no cooking, no planning, no cleanup
  • Christ-centered encouragement from people who understand your journey
  • A library of helpful resources on parenting, marriage, and faith
  • Flexible scheduling — structured activities or free time, your choice
  • Acres of wide open space for walks, conversations, and quiet reflection

You Deserve This

You’ve poured out everything for your children. You’ve held it together through meltdowns, court dates, sleepless nights, and moments you weren’t sure you’d survive. Your marriage has carried weight it was never meant to bear alone.

This weekend isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline. Come rest. Come reconnect. Come be reminded that you’re not alone, and that your marriage is worth fighting for.
