Hey!
Adee and I are excited to announce the dates of the second Couples Camp: Camp will be from October 19-22 on our land in Dripping Springs, TX.
We had high hopes for our first camp, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Here’s what a couple of the participants had to say about their experience:
“After camp, I feel that not only am I more deeply in love with my partner, but I also understand more about myself, my tendencies and my needs in the relationship. We were lovingly pushed to our emotional and relational edges and I loved every minute of it. 10/10 would recommend!” -Krysta H
“My experience was invaluable and something me and my husband will draw from for the rest of our lives together. Camp not only served as an opportunity to grow in my relationship with my husband, but to see the potential of relationships with like-minded couples and its impact on our marriage. Camp reminded us of who we are, who we can be, and what matters most to us. What already felt like an extraordinary life together, got EVEN BETTER after camp.” - Katherine H
How this started
We see so many committed couples that love each other deeply, but they don’t have fun together anymore.
Couples that would do anything for each other, but they’re afraid to share things with the other.
Some that fight dirty. Some that have mediocre sex at best. Some that don’t have any other couples around them that inspire them.
Couples that from the outside looking in, things are “good.” But deep down these couples remember a connection and a passion that’s far greater than what they experience today.
It is for these people that we’ve created Couples Camp. Because we know what’s possible for you.
Adee and I have been together for 8 years (married for nearly 7) and of all our accomplishments our relationship is the one we’re most proud of. After seven years and two children we’re having the best sex of our lives, we’re champions of each other's dreams and share ones that we continue working towards together. We work hard to maintain a partnership that fulfills and inspires us both while providing an example of what love can be to our kids.
We're not perfect by any means—we fight, miscommunicate, get in funks and have times when we're not feeling connected to each other—through years of practice, coaching and learning from our mistakes we've learned how to handle these situations skillfully and gracefully (most of the time).
Our relationship coach Annie Lalla taught us that “we don’t fall in love with our partners. We fall in love with who we get to be in their presence.” During this camp we will talk about how to use your relationship as the most cutting edge personal development tool on the planet.
We'll also cover conflict resolution, creating and maintaining an erotic sex life, visioning and dreaming together, cultivating higher quality "us" time as well as “me” time—and more.
This camp is for you if…
You’re in an ALL-IN relationship. The type where you intend to grow old together and start changing each other’s diapers and stuff one day. 🤞
You crave more intimacy and depth of conversation with your partner
You desire a more exciting and fulfilling sex life
You want to have more fun together
You want new tools and strategies for collaborating and overcoming conflict
You are open minded to trying out new things and ways of relating to your beloved
Most people in a relationship have had the feeling of being madly in love with their partner in what is commonly called the “honeymoon phase.” Unfortunately, after a year or two, few relationships ever touch that level of connection and passion again. While we certainly don’t feel this ALL the time, we’ve discovered ways to remember our deep love and affection reliably. And this is what we’re excited to share with you.
You can apply here now.

We feel pretty great in our relationship right now. Would you still recommend this course for us?
A quote we’ve operated by for our entire relationship is “the best time to fix a roof is when it stops raining.” A professional baseball player doesn’t wait until he’s in a slump to improve his swing. He constantly works at it. We believe that we can always grow in our relationship and that usually it’s easier to grow when we’re NOT in conflict.
If you are ready to deepen and take your relationship to the next level, apply here. We are excited to work with you and your partner.
With love,
Michael and Adee
A few words from other participants:
“If you have the opportunity to work with Michael and Adee there are two options: Yes and Yes. The experience and space they create for individuals to discover their own answers to their questions is truly amazing. Couples Camp exceeded all expectations. From ways that we can simply better understand each other, to fostering deeper connection, and cultivating intimacy as we continue to grow through life; we are walking away with the knowledge that we can put into practice right away.” - Tom H
“Michael and Adee approach the subject of relationships with integrity. They’re real. They aren’t throwing a bunch of “mystifying woo” at us or putting on a show. They navigate the everyday differences that arise in a relationship with grace. I was not only inspired by the material, but also by getting to have an inside look at how they live their lives.” - Rob M
Couples Camp was a powerful uplevel for my relationship with myself and my partner. I learned ways in which I am holding my relationship back and ways in which I can inspire my relationship to become the relationship that I know we are capable of having. I loved connecting with other couples and seeing what is possible for the future. The framework Michael and Adee led us through was digestible and easy to navigate throughout the weekend. We learned how to navigate conflict in a way that brought us closer and it truly feels like a tool we will use for the rest of our lives. The entire event was fun, edge-pushing, and connective. I left feeling inspired in love and ready to co-create a beautiful life with my partner. - Mallory J
