Encounter
Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and
responsibilities where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is
guided in the discovery of new techniques of communicating and sharing with
one another. It is not a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples
the opportunity to examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong
points, their attitudes toward each other and toward their families. Couples
are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their partner
in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter.
Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples
prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage,
not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples
are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout
their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet
reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense
experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement,
engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to share
their private experiences with the group.
