Marriage Encounter is a weekend devoted to married couples to give them an opportunity to examine their lives together...a time to share feelings, hopes, disappointments, joys and frustrations. The emphasis is on communication between husband and wife, in a atmosphere away from everyday life, a time to concentrate on each other.
Who Is It For? Any married couple who desires a richer fuller life together. A marriage can never be too good. Marriage Encounter is designed to deepen and enrich the joys a couple shares together, whether they have been married for only a short time, or many years.
Do You Have To Be Catholic? The weekend is Catholic in orientation and is expressed in the tradition and understanding of the Catholic Church. Is is open to all.
What Happens At A Marriage Encounter? A series of presentations are given by a team of Catholic couples and a Catholic Priest. Each presentation allows you and your spouse a rare opportunity to look at yourselves as individuals, then to look at your marriage and your relationship to one another. The weekend is oriented strickly to each individual couple. You concentrate on your spouse. You share in the privicy of your own room. You will learn a communication technique which permits you to explore important areas of your relationship in a spirit of love and understanding.
What Does Marriage Encounter Cost? A $50.00 non-refundable registration fee confirms your food and lodging. At the end of the weekend each couple is given a blank envelope and asked to make a donation. No one is ever refused the opportunity to make weekend because of the lack of funds. |
