What happens?

Over the course of the experience – typically a weekend – three couples and a priest provide new tools, using examples from their own lives, to help couples work through common themes we can all relate to.

Who is it for?

Worldwide Marriage Encounter is an enrichment for married couples who value their relationship and desire a richer, fuller life together. It is also for priests and religious who want to strengthen their relationships with their church communities.

What’s the cost?

A Worldwide Marriage Encounter experience is remarkably affordable! All that is needed to secure your spot at an experience is a non-refundable application fee, with fees varying from area to area.

Live a Weekend experience

The Marriage Encounter Weekend is an opportunity for couples to learn a loving communication technique that they can use for the rest of their lives. It’s a chance to look deeply into each other’s relationship and connection with God.

A Weekend begins at 6:00 pm on a Friday and concludes on Sunday around 6:00 pm.

Uncover the secrets to a lasting, supportive, transformational marriage!

For more than 50 years, Worldwide Marriage Encounter has helped over 3.5 million couples in almost 100 countries unlock the power of their relationships with new ways to do the “I do.” The Marriage Encounter experience helps you listen, share, and connect more deeply. There’s no group discussion. It’s just about the two of you learning to be the best, most loving and thriving couple you can be.

Nine in ten couples who attend a Marriage Encounter recognize a long-lasting positive effect on their lives.
