The Engaged Encounter weekend is a live-in experience when couples planning marriage spend the time together to concentrate on each other and their future marriage relationship free from the tensions, pressures and interruptions of daily life and the preparations for the wedding. It is designed to give a couple the opportunity to talk honestly and deeply about their future. Self identity, roles, expectations of each other in areas of money, sex, friends, children, family, religion and the Church's beliefs about marriage are some of the topics covered. There is no group sharing.
WHO IS THE PROGRAMME FOR?
The programme is for couples of any age,
who are preparing to marry and are mature enough to believe their good
relationship can become even better. For couples planning to be married
in the Catholic Church, marriage preparation is compulsory. Other programmes
are available but it is our belief that the Engaged Encounter weekend
offers a unique and intensive experience to couples.
The weekend is Catholic in orientation and is presented by two Catholic couples and a priest but couples of other faiths are welcome.
