What Marriage Encounter is...
Worldwide Marriage Encounter is 44 hours where married couples can get away from jobs, kids, chores, and phones - and focus only on each other. If you'd like greater depth, growth, and enrichment in your relationship, you'll like the difference a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend can make!
What Marriage Encounter isn't...
Its is not a retreat, nor a marriage clinic, nor group sensitivity. It's a unique approach aimed at revitalizing Christian Marriage. It's not for troubled marriages, but for good marriages that need revitalization for their sacrament, communication and intimacy.
Who Is the Weekend 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. Marriage Encounter also provides support and encouragement to priests and religious who are dedicated to their vocation in life.
Do You Have To Be Catholic?
The weekend is Catholic in orientation and is expressed in the tradition and understanding of the Catholic Church. It is open to all, and so a certain number of spaces are reserved each weekend for couples of other faiths. If you are looking for a weekend in your faith expression other than Catholic, please visit the National Website, www.wwme.org, for dates and locations near you.
How Does a Marriage Encounter Weekend Enhance A Marriage?
The weekend teaches a communication technique which permits each couple to explore important areas of their relationship in a spirit of love love and understanding. By continuing the newly acquired technique begun on the weekend, husbands and wives continually grow closer together to live more joyful and purposeful lives.
What Other AZ Couples Have To Say About Their Weekend...
"Marriage Encounter was like a breath of fresh air to our marriage. It allowed us to grow closer together and really sparked our spiritual growth as a couple. There is a book called "Renewed by the Holy Spirit" where a priest talks about the fact he has never seen anything save marriages like the Holy Spirit. That is what M.E. did for us. Our marriage was dead and void of romance and God blessed us more times than we could ever imagine. Thank you for the weekend."
Donald and Barbara, Chandler
"After 25 years of marriage our relationship needed a tune-up (actually it needed it sooner). Our Marriage Encounter Weekend gave us tools we are using daily to live a great marriage. Now we are best friends and a married couple who walks life together."
Jim and Elaine, Scottsdale
"We experienced the Marriage Encounter Weekend in May of 1972. It was such a wonderful gift for our marriage that gave us the tools to communicate with each other every day. Stepping back from M.E. for a time, we found our communication lacking. Coming back to the M.E. commitment and our relationship has given us back each other. We are celebrating 50 years of marriage this year. We owe our beautiful love relationship to experiencing the Marriage Encounter Weekend."
Donna and John, Mesa
"Marriage Encounter is the greatest gift we could have ever given ourselves and each other. It has brought us to heights in our relationship that we never dreamed we could reach. We now understand and relate to one another in a way that brings us great peace and unity."
David and Julie, Scottsdale (M.E. Weekend 12/00)
"We went on our weekend 8 years ago. I firmly believe it saved our marriage. Now my husband and I are more in love with each other than ever. We count our marriage as one of our greatest blessings from the Lord."
Melissa and Bruce, Gilbert
