The Experience

More than a vacation

Every retreat is built around four things we believe a marriage was made for.

i.

Faith

Morning devotionals, gentle teaching, and space to worship — woven through the journey, never forced.

ii.

Romance

Unhurried time to reconnect and rekindle. A strong marriage doesn't happen by accident.

iii.

Adventure

Beautiful destinations and genuine fun — shared moments you'll talk about for years.

iv.

Fellowship

Travel alongside other Christian couples who share your faith and your season of life.

Our Story

A faith-filled marriage is worth celebrating on purpose.

We’re Bryant and Debbie Jones — husband and wife, and now travel partners. We know that by 40 and beyond, life is full: careers, kids, aging parents, church, seasons of waiting and seasons of loss. The years go quickly, and time together rarely happens by accident.

So we created Covenant Retreats: getaways for Christian couples 40 and up who want their next chapter rich with adventure, romance, and God. You’ll explore beautiful places, share devotionals and meaningful conversation, and travel beside other couples who share your faith — while we handle every detail.

Come adventure with us. Come grow with us.

— Bryant & Debbie

Getaway Ideas

Ten romantic getaways, one for every season

Our favorite trips for married couples, timed for when each place is at its best. Every one of them we’d happily plan for the two of you.

No. 1

Alaska Cruise

A September Alaska cruise is the quiet tail end of the season: tidewater glaciers, humpback whales, gold in the river valleys and far fewer people on the docks than in July. Go if you two would trade some rain and the odd cancelled excursion for elbow room at the rail and an easy, scenic week together.

SeptemberCruise

No. 2

Italy Getaway

A slow fall trip through central Italy, with a few nights each in Rome, Assisi and a Tuscan hill town, is one of the best romantic getaways for married couples who love good food and the story of the early church. Go in September or October if you want harvest-season meals, milder weather than summer and thinner crowds, and you're both fine with hills and stairs.

September or OctoberLand trip

No. 3

Napa Valley Getaway

A Napa Valley romantic getaway in October or November is a slow resort stay among vineyards turning gold and red, built around long meals, spa afternoons and quiet drives. Go if you want rest and good food more than sightseeing, and you don't need to drink wine to enjoy it.

October or NovemberResort stay

No. 4

Christmas Market River Cruise

A Christmas market river cruise for couples is a week on a small riverboat through Germany and Austria during Advent, stopping each day at an old town with its own market, church and lights. Go if you'd like to slow down before Christmas and don't mind cold air and early dark.

Two ways to travel with us.

Plan a private getaway just for the two of you — an anniversary, a milestone, or simply time you’ve both earned — or join a group retreat and travel in fellowship with other couples. Either way, we’d be honored to help.
