What is Marriage Encounter?

Marriage Encounter is an invitation to spend an entire weekend focusing on your spouse and your relationship with each other, working toward God's ideal for marriage. Encounter means "to meet again at a deeper level." You'll find the weekend to be orderly, informative, and structured. Marriage Encounter takes couples beyond the frustration, disappointments, or loneliness that can be a part of their everyday life.

hat Happens On A Marriage Encounter Weekend?

Each workshop is presented by four Adventist team couples - one (1) Pastoral and three (3) Lay couples. Each presentation allows you and your spouse an opportunity to:

Look at yourselves as individuals.
Look at your marriage and relationship to one another
Look at your relationship to God and to the world.
The refreshing positive approach to communication in marriage offers an opportunity for growth.

The emphasis of the Marriage Encounter weekend is on the communication between husbands and wives. The weekend provides a conducive environment for couples to spend time together, away from the distractions and tensions of everyday life, while encouraging them to focus on each other and their relationship.

It's not a retreat, marriage clinic, group sensitivity, or a substitute for counseling. It's a unique approach aimed at revitalizing Marriage.

This is a time for you and your spouse to be alone together, to rediscover each other and together focus on your relationship for an entire weekend. Every marriage deserves that kind of attention!
