The Love & Passion Weekend
Don’t just stop at healed. Take your marriage to the next level

May 29-31, 2026

Happy, Fulfilling, Growing, Smart, Loving, Healthy & Strong!

And most importantly Affair-Resistant!

For everything we do in life we get educated, except perhaps for the one thing that has more power to make us happy, and help us succeed in every other area of life - our marriage.

Let’s face it, no one ever had their best day at work after a fight with their spouse. Many couples make the mistake of settling for “good enough” after the affair crisis is over.
When couples attend our Healing from Affairs weekend for couples, it’s usually because they are experiencing the deep pain of the marital crisis. Healing from Affairs is like triage. It gets your heart beating again, and gives you tools to really listen to each other, rebuild trust and forgive.

Don’t stop there. There are so many more skills to keep growing your love and intimacy, both physical and emotional

Love & Passion is Healing from Affairs, without the affair stuff. You will build on the skills you’ve learned. Let’s face it HFA was hard work. Love & Passion is where you get to have fun together, while learning and growing closer.

At Love & Passion You Will:

  • Develop Vision, Dreams and Purpose for your marriage
  • Gain greater clarity around yours & your spouse’s values
  • ​Discover the roots of conflict
  • ​Figure out your marital style
  • Transform marital disaster traits into marital satisfaction traits
  • Learn the problem solving framework
  • ​Find ways to improve sexual intimacy
  • ​Grow together spiritually

Presenters

Brian & Anne Bercht - Founders of Beyond Affairs

Brian & Anne Bercht have been married for 43 years. They have 3 children, and 5 grandchildren. They are authors of the book, “My Husband’s Affair Became the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me."

Together they have spent the past 22 years dedicating their lives to restoring marriages affected by infidelity. Relationship skills has always been their passion. Since they both grew up in dysfunctional families they knew they needed something more, so they often attended marriage retreats, read marriage books and sought out couples with strong marriages as their mentors. Brian’s affair in 2000 challenged them both to the max. Initially their once picture perfect marriage was thrown into a tailspin - but in the end their tragedy became their triumph, not only for themselves, but for thousands to follow after them. 

Their love for each other is evident as they present together - where couples benefit from the perspective of both man and woman simultaneously. Between Brian’s humorous teaching style and unique gift in challenging men directly, coupled with Anne’s inspirational style, they are as a pair quite entertaining to learn from. Not every couple can present to an audience side by side. Brian and Anne have been doing it for years.

"Attending Love & Passion was one of the best decisions we could’ve made for our marriage. We had so much fun as we were learning. Frankly, I was amazed at how our intimacy improved as a result. I’m glad we didn’t just stop at healing from the affair. We can continually learn and grow in our relationship skills and knowledge of each other. If you get the chance, just do it."
