Marriage Weekend 2026
A weekend away — just the two of you — in the beauty of Montana's wilderness. Invest in your marriage, laugh together, and be refreshed.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up."
Ecclesiastes 4:9–10
For Every Marriage
The Clydehurst Marriage Weekend is for every marriage — whether you've been together for five months or fifty-five years. You will gain new insight and find new levels of closeness as you and your spouse examine your relationship to each other and to God.
Come and be encouraged — you are not alone. Laugh and be refreshed during a weekend of maximum relaxation and fun in a beautiful, distraction-free environment. Discover God's unique plan for marriage and invest in your future together.
Enjoy a walk along the Boulder River, go on a horseback ride, catch a much-needed nap, or hike to one of the many waterfalls around camp. We believe this will be a life-changing weekend.
✦ Registration for Fall 2026 opens April 1st
A private cabin, great food, inspiring teaching, and the stunning Boulder River Valley — everything you need for a weekend that truly fills you both up.
Meet Dave & Libbie
Dave and Libbie Oberly were both born and raised in Montana and actually met in kindergarten. They began dating while attending the University of Montana and have been married since 1999. They have lived in Bozeman for 27 years and have three daughters — Kalli (22), Makayla (18), and Addison (17). After 27 years of marriage, raising three daughters, and serving in ministry together, they have experienced both the joys and the challenges of growing a marriage centered on Christ.
Dave
Dave has spent more than 25 years working in campus ministry, including many years serving students at Montana State University. He and Libbie also spent two years serving overseas in Uruguay. Dave loves discipleship, Scripture, and helping people connect their faith with everyday life.
Libbie
Libbie holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Montana and a Master’s in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Montana State University. She has been in private practice in Bozeman for 25 years and has been involved in campus ministry throughout her adult life. She loves counseling, women’s discipleship, prayer, and Scripture, with a particular passion for helping people grow in healthy relationships.
A Weekend Made for Two
Biblical Teaching
Thoughtful, encouraging teaching on God's design for marriage — not lectures, but honest and life-giving conversation that meets you wherever you are.
Beautiful Setting
Walk the Boulder River together, hike to a waterfall, or simply sit and take in the mountains. The wilderness around Clydehurst does something to a couple.
Incredible Food
Leave the meal planning at home. Clydehurst takes care of everything — all you have to do is show up hungry and enjoy it together.
Private Cabin
Your own cabin on the ranch grounds — rustic charm with full bathroom, a queen bed, and the sound of the Boulder River just outside your door.
Activities Together
Horseback riding, hiking, swimming, campfires — plenty of ways to adventure together or simply slow down and enjoy each other's company.
True Rest
No kids, no chores, no agenda. Just the two of you — finally with the space to reconnect, laugh, and breathe together without the noise of everyday life.
