Marriage Encounter is not a retreat, nor is it a marriage clinic or sensitivity course. It is not
a time to look at the past, but rather to look at your future together. The weekend is a
positive, simple, common sense experience between husband and wife, that revitalizes
marriage by helping couples see what their relationship could and should be.

An atmosphere is created on the weekend in which the couple can concentrate exclusively
on one another. You concentrate on your spouse to such an extent that you are hardly
aware of the other couples present. A series of talks are given by a team of trained couples
and a priest. Each talk gives a husband and wife the opportunity to look at themselves as
individuals, and to look at their relationship with each other, with God and with others. After
each presentation, the husband and wife have time in the privacy of their room for their
own personal discussion. There is no group discussion.

Marriage Encounter starts with the love you have for your spouse and helps you to build,
expand and deepen that relationship. You will learn a communication technique which allows
and encourages you to explore the important areas of your lives together in a spirit of love
and understanding. The only talent one must have to make a Marriage Encounter is the
talent of love, and a desire to make a good marriage even better.

The weekend experience offers every couple the insights, the tools and the confidence to
enrich their marriage and to strengthen their love for one another. For many couples
"Their Weekend" is one of the most significant experiences of their lives.


Who should attend?
Marriage Encounter is for any couple who wants to enrich their marriage. The weekend is
designed to expand and deepen the joys a couple share together whether they have been
married for a short time or for many years. It is Catholic in its theology of marriage as a
Sacrament of the Church, but couples of all Faiths can benefit from it and are
encouraged to attend.


How much does it cost?
A S$50.00 Non-Refundable Registration fee confirms your booking. At the end of the
Weekend each couple is given a blank envelope and asked for a donation which hopefully
will cover the Weekend cost. The Weekend costs covers breakfasts, lunches, dinners,
suppers, weekend materials and a comfortable air-conditioned bedroom amid peaceful
and scenic surroundings. No one is ever refused the opportunity to make a Weekend
because of lack of funds.
