Engaged Encounter is part of the Worldwide Marriage Encounter Movement, which is active in almost 100 countries.

An Engaged Encounter weekend is a form of marriage preparation. It is designed to give couples preparing for marriage the chance to talk openly about their expectations and attitudes in such areas as work, money, children, in-laws, sex, leisure time, church and so on.

The focus of the weekend is on growth in relationships through communication as a couple. It is not a retreat and there are no group discussions – the testimonies of previous Engaged Encounter attendees will give you more detail.

Residential Engaged Encounter Weekends begin at around 8 p.m. on Friday and finish around 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Non-Residential Engaged Encounter Weekends begin around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday and finish around 5 p.m. on Sunday
