Marriage Vision Retreat At Suncadia Resort January 28-30
What is a Marriage Vision Retreat?
Your marriage is worth being intentional about. The Marriage Vision Retreat is an opportunity to step away from everyday demands, reconnect with your spouse, and intentionally invest in your marriage and family. Set in the beautiful winter surroundings of Suncadia Resort, this retreat will give you space to slow down, have meaningful conversations, celebrate where God has brought you, and dream together about the future.
Throughout the weekend, you'll be guided through conversations and exercises designed to help you develop a shared vision and actionable goals for your marriage, family, finances, and future. Whether you're newly married or have been together for decades, you'll leave with greater clarity, connection, and purpose—and a shared vision for the marriage you're building.

Our story
We are Zachary and Melissa Dunckley. We’ve been married for 17 wonderful years. We have four children: Zephaniah, Zoe, Zion, and Zander! We started doing our own Marriage Vision Retreat back in 2018. The impact was so significant to our marriage and family that we began leading an annual Marriage Vision Retreat for others. Each year, the response we received from those who participated was so overwhelming that we wanted to make the content we take couples through available to all. We love hearing from those who’ve gone through the workbook themselves. Please email us about how your marriage and family have been impacted by the Marriage Vision Retreat Workbook.
Zachary is the founding and lead pastor at The Mission Church in Issaquah, WA (tm.church) . He also serves as Executive Director at Forge Camp, a rite-of-passage discipleship experience that shapes godly men (forgecamp.org). Melissa is full-time homeschooling our children. We are a family that values spending time together through adventures, church activities, baseball and soccer games, and camping.
