Worldwide Marriage Encounter is a movement within the Catholic Church, which began in the late 1960′s, with the intention of giving married couples, priests and religious the opportunity to take responsibility for what is happening in their lives. Since its launch, over 5 million couples in almost 100 counties have experienced a weekend.
We live in an age where marriage and family life are under threat. A Marriage Encounter Weekend offers couples the opportunity to grow closer. It helps people to refocus on the values that are really important to them and to live more joyful and purposeful lives.
Marriage Encounter is not aimed at marriages that are in difficulty, because the movement does not offer advice or counselling for marriage in crisis – the testimonies of previous Marriage Encounter attendees will give you more detail.
