A marriage intensive for Australian couples is for those who do not want to stretch the work across months of weekly sessions, but to go deep and create real change in a concentrated block of time. Instead of an hour a week where momentum keeps resetting, an intensive gives you focused time to reach the heart of things and shift them. We are Grant and Christine Wattie, married 40 years, Gottman, Imago and EFT trained, working with Australian couples online from New Zealand.

The weekly model has a built-in limitation. By the time a couple settles, warms up, and reaches something true, the hour is over, and a week of ordinary life passes before they return to it. An intensive removes that reset. The concentrated time lets you reach the real dynamic and work it through while you are in it, which is why couples often achieve more in a focused block than in months of weekly appointments.

This suits the way we work. Because the Inside-Out Method works at the level of being rather than behaviour, focused time can produce a genuine shift rather than just insight to take home and lose. For couples in crisis, an intensive paired with the Phoenix Protocol can stabilise an acute situation fast, an affair, a partner ready to leave, a marriage gone silent. Around 85 to 90 percent of couples who do the work see the dynamic begin to shift within 7 days, and an intensive is built to compress that.

Australian couples do the intensive online, with an easy schedule despite the distance, since the time difference with New Zealand is small. The concentrated focus and the depth are the same as being in the room.

It starts with a free 15-minute call. You tell us where things are, and we tell you plainly whether an intensive is the right fit for your situation.
