Connecticut 2019 Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend - Register Today!

The weekend is designed to help married couples communicate more intimately with one another in order to deepen and enrich their relationship. The weekend is free from everyday routines, distractions and tensions.

An atmosphere is created where the couple can concentrate exclusively on one another in a private, confidential environment.

A series of presentations that touch on many aspects of marriage is given by three couples, and a Catholic priest.

After each presentation, the couple has time, in the privacy of their own room for personal sharing using the communication techniques learned on the weekend. There are no “group discussions”.

WWME is faithful to the Roman Catholic Church’s teaching that marriage is a covenant that exists between one man and one woman. Any reference to marriage or couple made by WWME is in this context.

The weekend usually starts at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and ends at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. ALL FAITH EXPRESSIONS ARE WELCOME!
