2026 Hitting Home - Marriage Conference

We would like to invite you to The Barn for a day of refreshment, relaxation, and learning at our 4th annual 2026 Hitting Home – Ocala Marriage Conference. Author, speaker, and marriage coach, Dr. Raymond Force, will be teaching couples how to fight for their marriage without fighting with one another using our biblical and refreshing approach.

The Barn is, by far, our favorite venue for hosting our marriage events. It provides a nostalgic setting for couples struggling to find their way in our fast-paced, technologically-driven world.

After over 10,000 counseling and coaching sessions, Dr. Force has learned the pressure points of couples that fail to connect and feel stuck. Couples find our material refreshing, thought-provoking, and devoid of many of our modern day labels that seem to further entrench couples into their issues.

This year, we are limiting the number of couples to 25. We have found that approximately 50 attendees is almost a perfect number for a marriage event. This allows us to enjoy more personal time with couples and conversate in a more relaxed setting between sessions.

This year, our 2026 Hitting Home – Ocala Marriage Conference will be on Saturday, February 21st, 2026, from 9 am – 1 pm.
