WWME Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Worldwide Marriage Encounter?
Worldwide Marriage Encounter is a weekend
devoted to married couples to give them an
opportunity to examine their lives
together...a time to share feelings, hopes,
disappointments, joys and frustrations. The
emphasis is on communication between husband
and wife, in a atmosphere away from everyday
life, a time to concentrate on each other.
Who is it for?
Any married couple who desires a richer
fuller life together. A marriage can never
be too good. Marriage Encounter is designed
to deepen and enrich the joys a couple
shares together, whether they have been
married for only a short time, or many
years.
Do you have to be catholic?
The weekend is Catholic in orientation and
is expressed in the tradition and
understanding of the Catholic Church. Is is
open to all.
What happens at a Marriage Encounter weekend?
A series of
presentations are given by a team of
Catholic couples and a Catholic Priest.
Each presentation allows you and your spouse
a rare opportunity to look at yourselves as
individuals, then to look at your marriage
and your relationship to one another. The weekend is oriented strictly to each
individual couple. You concentrate on your
spouse. You share in the privacy of your
own room. You
will learn a communication technique which
permits you to explore important areas of
your relationship in a spirit of love and
understanding.
What does Marriage Encounter cost?
A $50.00 non-refundable registration fee
confirms your food and lodging. At the end
of the weekend each couple is given a blank
envelope and asked to make a donation. No
one is ever refused the opportunity to make
