The Veterans Affairs offers Marriage Retreats for those struggling with PTSD.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is trying a new path when it comes to caring for and healing the Nation’s wounded Veterans. Now, in addition to repairing their damaged bodies and minds, VA is attempting to go one step further and repair their crumbling marriages.
"That’s why Craddock and another VA Chaplain, Ed Waldrop, launched VA’s very first marriage retreat three years ago at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center in Augusta, Ga. The retreats are conducted by VA chaplains, social workers, psychologists, and counselors who have been certified as instructors for teaching better communication skills, relationship skills, and emotional literacy skills to couples."

This is a great program but a local VA program. I feel that this program should be considered as a successful pilot program. That being said it should be implemented across the VA and not just locally.

This would help couples renew their bounds to each other, and bring closeness back.
