"That the dead will rise even Moses made known in the
passage about the bush, when he called out 'Lord,' the God
of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and he
is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are
alive." - Lk 20:37-38

What is a Worldwide Marriage Encounter?
The Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend is a positive and personal experience offering married couples an opportunity to learn a technique of loving communication that they can use for the rest of their lives. It is a chance to look deeply into their relationship with each other and with God. It is a time to share their feelings, hopes and dreams with each other. The emphasis of the Worldwide 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 is not a retreat, marriage clinic, group sensitivity, or a substitute for counseling. It is a unique approach aimed at revitalizing Marriage. It truly is a marriage enrichment program. 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! Simply put – it is one of the best marriage enrichment programs offered to married couples.
