What is Marriage Encounter?

A Marriage Encounter Weekend...

• enables deep communication between a married couple, no matter how long you have been married
• teaches married couples a way of enriching their relationship
• is a time to share feelings, hopes, dreams, joys and disillusionment with one another
• provides time to share and discuss privately (there is no group sharing on a Marriage Encounter Weekend!!)
• is a wonderful way to revitalise a marriage away from the distractions, tensions, and routines of everyday life
• is not a retreat, is not therapy, nor a counselling situation

Weekends are intended for married couples. The Church defines a married couple as having committed themselves to God's holy covenant of marriage by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership for their whole life.
