LOVE SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE WORK,
BUT IT DOES SOMETIMES
What if your relationship didn’t just survive the pressures of life, but thrived with intentional joy, intimacy, and unshakable unity?
Maybe you feel more like roommates than soulmates.
Maybe communication feels like a battle instead of a bridge.
Maybe intimacy has become routine or nonexistent.
Maybe stress, careers, kids, or family expectations have created distance between you and your partner.

Maybe stress, careers, kids, or family expectations have created distance between you and your partner.
Maybe you simply want to protect what you’ve built and stop repeating generational cycles.
You are not alone. Even the strongest couples need intentional spaces to reset, reconnect, and reignite. Too often, successful Black couples pour themselves into careers, families, and community—yet forget to invest the same level of luxury, passion, and depth into their love.
That’s why Black Marriage Week exists.
HOSTED BY ACCLAIMED REALTIONSHIP THERAPISTS
Dr. Kia and Dr. Carol-Ann
Black Marriage Week is more than a retreat—it’s an immersive experience designed with the unique beauty, challenges, and legacy of Black love at the center.
