Improving communication in marriage is an ongoing process.
It is not something that comes naturally because of our
wedding, but involves a lifetime of active learning. Today
we spend a lot of time and money on maintaining our homes,
our vehicles, our clothing, our careers .... but how much
time do we spend improving and growing in our couple
communication?
A Marriage Encounter (M.E.) Weekend gives married couples an
opportunity to reactivate, improve and grow in their couple
communication. It is a special weekend program offered in a
comfortable setting designed to give couples a chance to get
away from the everyday routine of life and to spend time
together exploring their marital relationship.
Through the Marriage Encounter Weekend process couples are
given time to reflect on their attitudes toward each other
and their families ... their joys and their frustrations
...their disappointments and hurts ... their hopes and their
dreams.
The techniques shared on the M.E. Weekend are
non-threatening. The weekend experience is unique for each
couple and the communication experienced between each
individual couple is personal and private.
Marriage Encounter Weekend is :
NOT a marriage clinic ...
NOT religious instruction or retreat
NOT a group therapy or sensitivity session.
It IS a weekend program geared towards enhancing the couple
relationship through communication occurring in an open and
honest face to face, heart to heart encounter .
