a first of its kind “offsite” – for couples
MOVE Your Marriage.
MOVE is a 1.5 day working “weTreat” for any couple ready to level up their partnership. Created specifically for couples who are planning to start a family, expecting a little one, or navigating the early stages of parenthood.
Is this for me?
We’ve distilled years of research & coaching practice into one fun, focused, and highly productive weekend for couples who are ready to invest in themselves as individuals and their family.
What is M.O.V.E?
A dedicated space to explore the Money, Operations, Values, and Empathy that go into a family.
Money
Work together to earn, manage and save money as a team.
Wondering how to save for college, pay off your mortgage, and plan for retirement? Money can be stressful for couples, but facing it together makes you stronger. We’ll help you set shared financial goals and build lasting security for your future.
Operations
Divide your household tasks equitably so you both have time for fun & rejuvenation.
It’s about creating a partnership where you share responsibilities, so you can both balance work, childcare, and personal time. How do you want to manage a shared family calendar? How will you cover inevitable and unexpected life events: sick kids, aging parents, overflowing toilets.
Values
Live your values through everyday words and actions.
The life you’re building together should reflect your shared values. We’ll help you identify what truly matters to both of you and provide tools to make sure your daily actions align with those beliefs.
Empathy
Acknowledge your partner’s point of view; appreciate each other’s strengths.
Every relationship thrives on empathy and understanding – especially when you’re discussing “Tricky Topics” like In-Laws, holidays, parenting choices , sex and intimacy. Learn how to listen to your partner’s perspective (and share your own) without judgment, embrace each other’s strengths, and create a dynamic where both of you feel seen, heard, and supported.
We know your time is precious, so we’ll make every moment count — and you’ll leave with clear decisions, tasks checked off, and a confident path forward.
