What is a Marriage Encounter? A Worldwide Marriage Encounter is a weekend away, offering married couples a special kind of "time out", a different kind of "weekend getaway". It is an opportunity to recharge your relationship batteries and more deeply explore the precious nature of your marriage. It offers a gentle, nurturing environment, away from the pressures and distractions of daily living. Thus, it allows you both to share your feelings, hopes and dreams with each other in ways that normal, daily living tends to inhibit. Worldwide Marriage Encounter's research tells us that one of the key stumbling blocks in maintaining and enriching marriage relationships is the fact that few of us find loving, open communication easy, no matter how much we love each other. A Marriage Encounter is a weekend about love. It is a positive and personal experience offering married couples an opportunity to learn a unique approach to loving communication that you can use for the rest of your lives. It encourages you to focus on each other, your communication skills, and your relationship. Marriage Encounter is for couples with basically sound marriages who want to take their relationship a step further and enrich and/or revitalize their marriage. The weekend is not equipped to deal with problems like domestic violence, infidelity or separation. Marriage Encounter is definitely NOT marriage guidance or marriage counselling. There are various government and privately funded counselling services offering assistance to marriages in crisis. (See Retrouvaille) More Info: What is a Marriage Encounter?
