Marriage wasn’t designed to run on autopilot—or survive on good intentions alone. It was wholly designed by God to be a place of growth, refinement, unity, and impact.

At Wholly Designed Marriages, we create immersive marriage experiences for couples who want clarity, alignment, and tools that actually change how they show up in their marriage and the world around them.

Hosted by Lisa Castro and Jaime Castro on Siesta Key, Florida, this retreat is intentionally designed to deliver depth without overwhelm, challenge without shame, and transformation without months or years of counseling.

This is an immersive reset—for couples who want to strengthen what’s good, repair what’s strained, and realign around who God designed them to be individually and together.

  • Bob & Annette Gibson

    We arrived at the retreat worn out, in denial, and carrying walls we didn’t even know were there. But as the weekend progressed, those walls came down. Through Jaime and Lisa’s leadership and the tools we learned, we were able to address past pain and start healing together. This weekend truly marked the beginning of a new chapter in our marriage.

  • Gary & Romona Dodd

    Jaime and Lisa create a welcoming and safe atmosphere of love, acceptance and trust. This allowed us to reflect on our relationship and delve into intimate conversations using the tools they provided. We walked away with sharpened communication and listening skills, as well as a deeper level of love, respect and understanding. This retreat was truly a pivotal turn in our marriage.

  • Ken & Paige Wilson

    We had the privilege of attending this incredible marriage retreat, and it was truly one of the most valuable experiences we’ve ever had together. What stood out most was the methodology they used—practical, real-world tools for addressing miscommunication before it escalates into conflict. We learned how to pause, listen, and redirect conversations in ways that prevent small misunder-standings from turning into arguments. Beyond that, the retreat helped us uncover and work through personal issues that were quietly holding us back from being our best individually and as a couple. That process not only strengthened our relationship but also gave us clarity on our shared purpose and the difficult decisions we face in life together. We walked away with a renewed sense of unity, better equipped to navigate challenges as one, and more inspired to build the best marriage we can possibly have. We highly recommend this retreat to any couple who wants to deepen their connection, grow stronger together, and live with greater purpose.”
