World Wide Marriage Encounter

World Wide Marriage Encounter is designed to give married couples the opportunity to examine their lives together... a time to share feelings, their hopes, disappointments, joys and frustrations and to do so openly and honestly in a face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter with the one person they have chosen to live with for the rest of their life.

The emphasis of Marriage Encounter is on communication between husband and wife, who spend a weekend together away from the distractions and the tensions of everyday life, to concentrate on each other. It's not a retreat, nor a marriage clinic, nor group sensitivity. It's a unique approach aimed at revitalizing Christian Marriage.

World Wide Marriage Encounter is a weekend experience directed by team couples and a religious leader. Each presentation allows couples a rare opportunity to look at yourselves as individuals, then to look at your marriage and your relationship to one another, and finally to look at your relationship to God, the Church and the world.

Marriage Encounter is open to couples of all faiths.

Marriage Encounter Weekends are held regularly at local motels and retreat houses. In some areas there is a waiting list for the weekend. So, registration several months in advance may be advisable. The weekend starts at 8:00 pm on Friday night and runs until about 4:30 pm on Sunday afternoon.
