Worldwide Marriage Encounter

Worldwide Marriage Encounter offers a weekend experience designed to give married couples the opportunity to learn a technique of loving communication that they can use for the rest of their lives. It's a chance to look deeply into their relationship with each other and with God. It's time to share their feelings, hopes and dreams with each other.

The emphasis of the weekend is on the communication between husbands and wives; it provides a conducive environment for couple to spend time together, away from 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.
