The encounter is a weekend experience which allows couples time to reflect upon their relationship in an atmosphere free of the pressures and distractions of everyday life. It is designed to give the couple planning marriage an opportunity to talk honestly and intensely about their prospective life together- their strengths and weaknesses, desires, ambitions, goals; their attitudes about money, sex, children, family; their roles in the church and society.

The emphasis of Worldwide Marriage Encounter is on communication between husband and wife, who spend a weekend together away from the distractions and the tensions of everyday life, to concentrate on each other. Every marriage deserves that kind of attention!
