Reasons for Going on a Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend
A Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend has something in it for every married couple. What you get out of a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend will depend largely on where you are in your relationship on the weekend. You will get whatever it is you need at that point in time.
In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus talks about the rich soil. The rich soil has many different nutrients in it. The plant draws out the nutrients it needs at any given point in time.
Worldwide Marriage Encounter can provide some of the rich soil your marriage needs to bear fruit "a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold."
Some of the "nutrients" that couples draw from Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekends are:
Deeper Intimacy
Remember when you were dating? Going for long walks. Talking long into the night. Looking into each others eyes. Holding hands. Sharing warm joyous laughter. . .
When couples think back on their dating days, they often end up wondering "what happened? . . ." They might long for the closeness they once felt yet judge that it isn't possible in the hustle and bustle of their current lives. Not true! Absolutely not true!
The intimacy you shared doesn’t need to be just a distant memory. It’s closer than you realize and it’s more wonderful then you remember. A Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend can help you rekindle that closeness, that warm intimacy. A Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend gives you tools and techniques you can use that will deepen your intimacy more and more as life unfolds.
God, Spirituality
Matrimony is a sacred union between you, your spouse, and God. God is on your team! How can you beat that?
We can embrace God as the third member of our Sacrament, or we can forget that He's there with us. As a three legged stool stands infinitely better than a two legged one, marriages are at their strongest and at their best when husbands and wives welcome and embrace God as the third member of their Sacrament.
Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekends help many married couples get started or continue on their spiritual journeys as couples.
Family Life
The relationship between husband and wife is the foundation of the family. When a couple shares greater love, joy, intimacy, understanding, spirituality and communication, the children are the first to notice and feel the effect.
Our children are the seeds and our Sacraments of Matrimony are the soil they fall on. By nurturing and cultivating our Sacraments we provide rich soil for our children to grow, flourish, and blossom in.
Enrichment
Is it time for your 5 year tune-up? Cars need to be tuned up periodically. Plants need fertilizer. Doctors, lawyers and professionals of all types need continuing education. All these things are important, but your marriage is more important. In order for the soil your marriage is rooted in to stay rich year in and year out, you need to en-rich it periodically. A Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend is the perfect way!
Special Gift
What could be a better gift for your spouse than the gift of yourself? Be it a gift you give each other for a Wedding Anniversary, Christmas, a birthday, Valentine's Day, or other special occasion, the gift of a Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend will keep giving your whole lives through. A Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend is a gift that you and your spouse will remember, treasure and benefit from forever!
