It is for married Couples, religious & priests from all walks of life who want to develop their relationship!

• Marriage Encounter's definition of Marriage is: "Marriage is a covenant that exists between one man & one woman.
  
• If you have a good marriage & talk a lot- that is great, but there is more to discover.
  
• If you are ticking along nicely - you can find new life, new depths.
  
• If you are disillusioned & wondering if this is all there is or all there can be— you can find an answer.

On a weekend couples, religious & priests can deepen & enrich their lives no matter how long they have been married or ordained.
