Back in 2023, I hosted the first Hot, Holy & Humorous Marriage Cruise, and it went great! If you could talk to the couples who attended, I believe they’d tell you the same thing. We spent a wonderful week cruising the Caribbean, learning more about marital intimacy as God intended, strengthening our marriages, and getting to know one another as friends and encouragers. We also enjoyed excellent food, fun experiences, and beautiful ports of call.
In 2027, I’ll be hosting the second—and last—Hot, Holy & Humorous Marriage Cruise. And I’d love for you to join us!
Invest in Your Intimacy
Most couples understand the value of investing in their marriage. A healthy marriage doesn’t happen by accident. But neither does healthy sex in marriage. Whether you’re a couple who’s struggled to get on the same page, encountered obstacles, or simply want to keep the spark alive, this cruise is for you.
During our time together, I’ll be teaching sessions focused on building healthy, holy, and satisfying sexual intimacy. We’ll talk honestly, biblically, and practically about what it means to nurture this gift God has given married couples. Plus, you’ll have the big-time bonus of a personal coaching session with Brad and Kate Aldrich of Aldrich Ministries! (That rated as a favorite perk on our last cruise.)
This is an investment worth making!
More Than a Conference
This isn’t a typical marriage conference where you spend all day moving from session to session. Think of it as a marriage retreat at sea.
We’ll gather for teaching sessions and discussions, but you’ll also have plenty of time to relax together, enjoy the ship’s amenities, explore beautiful destinations, and simply reconnect as husband and wife.
The combination of biblical teaching, personal coaching, intentional couple time, and a relaxing vacation creates something truly special.
Why a Cruise?
When some people hear “cruise,” they picture deck parties, loud music, and crowds. Others imagine sitting quietly by the water with a good book. The truth is that a cruise can be either of those experiences—or neither.
One of the things I enjoy most about cruising is that it’s largely what you make it.
Want to dance the night away? You can do that.
Want to play shuffleboard on the deck, watch the ocean roll by, and turn in early? You can do that too.
You can fill your days with activities, shows, excursions, and adventures, or you can spend much of your time simply relaxing together. A cruise offers something many vacations don’t: choices. Lots of them.
And because your lodging, dining, entertainment, and transportation between destinations are all wrapped into one experience, it’s easy to focus less on logistics and more on enjoying time together.
Once you’re onboard, many of life’s usual responsibilities simply disappear for a while. There’s something refreshing about stepping away from normal life and remembering why you chose each other in the first place.

Is This Cruise for You?
This cruise is not an intensive intervention for marriages in crisis. But the Hot, Holy & Humorous Marriage Cruise is a great fit if:
- You’d like practical, biblical teaching about sexual intimacy.
- You and your spouse would benefit from becoming more aligned in your expectations and experiences.
- You’d like to keep the spark alive in your relationship.
- You need time away to reconnect.
- You’ve been wanting a vacation that combines relaxation with relationship growth.
And if you’re still not sure about the cruise part? That’s okay. Many first-time cruisers discover they love it.
Either way, I encourage you to check out the details here and prayerfully consider joining us. I’d love to spend a week with you investing in one of God’s greatest gifts to married couples: intimacy.
