Frequently Asked Questions

What happens at a Marriage Encounter?
A series of presentations are given by a team of couples. 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, and finally to look at your relationship to God. The weekend starts at 7:00pm on Friday night and runs until about 4:30pm on Sunday afternoon.

Does the weekend respect the couple’s privacy?
Yes. The weekend is oriented strictly to each individual couple. You concentrate on your spouse to such an extent that you are hardly aware of the other couples present. The presentations are given to the group as a whole. After each presentation, the husband and wife have time in the privacy of their room for their own personal discussion.

How does a Marriage Encounter enhance a marriage?
The encounter weekend teaches a communication technique which permits each couple to explore important areas of their relationship in a spirit of 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.

Please Note: This weekend is for husbands and wives only. Please make arrangements at home for your children and pets. Also, please consider leaving your cell phones and pagers behind. This weekend is just for the two of you, so leave the rest of the world behind for just a few days, and invest in your future.
