Worldwide Marriage Encounter provides an experience designed to give married couples and religious the opportunity to examine and enhance their lives together.  Worldwide Marriage Encounter offers an experience designed to give married couples and religious the opportunity to learn a technique of loving communication that they can use for the rest of their lives.  Using these tools, they are given the opportunity to look deeply into their relationship with each other and with God.  It's a time to share with each other their feelings, hopes and dreams, joys and frustrations.  To do so openly and honestly in a face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter with the one person each has chosen to live with for the rest of his/her life.

The emphasis of the Marriage Encounter experience is on the communication between husbands and wives, priests and their people.  The experience provides a conducive environment for couples to spend time together, away from the distractions and tensions of everyday life, while encouraging them to focus on each other and their relationship.

It's not a retreat, marriage clinic, group sensitivity, or a substitute for counseling.  It's a unique approach aimed at revitalizing Marriage and Religious Orders.

This is a time for you and your spouse to be alone together, to rediscover each other and together focus on your relationship for an entire weekend or four-evening Experience. Every marriage deserves that kind of attention!

 

Worldwide Marriage Encounter's Mission of renewal in the church and change in the world is to assist couples and priests to live fully intimate and responsible relationships by providing them with a Catholic "experience" and ongoing community support for such a lifestyle.
