My wife and I are going on a marriage encounter weekend. What can we expect? We have a good marriage we just want to make it better.

I have heard nothing but good things about M.E. You can expect a renewed relationship with your spouse.🙂
 
I just went on one with my dh! You can expect it to be a good thing. At a minimum it will bring you closer or help you communicate better. At a maximum, you may feel a complete rebirth of your marriage, and work out issues that have been difficult for years. Expect many presentations each day done by “veteran” marriage encounter couples. They’ll present questions that they dealt with and “dialogued” about, and they’ll share some of their own dialogues. It can be a little personal, but it’s necessary because they are modeling for you how to do it. You and your wife will be sent off separately to answer specific questions (which are broad enough that they will be meaningful to everyone), and then you and your wife will come together to share your responses and “dialogue.” You will NOT be expected to share your responses with anyone other than your spouse. Expect to be urged to look past your thoughts to your deeper feelings - this is harder for some than others, but goes miles in terms of communicating well with your spouse. And it is great for helping you rediscover the positives that were in your relationship when you first fell in love. Expect to feel energized if you are leaving children behind at home (almost anything is more restful than running after kids), but expect that a marriage encounter does demand a lot of “emotional work” from you - this is not a weekend at the spa. Know that people will be praying for you while you are on the weekend - I’ll say a prayer for you now.

Davis: Yes indeed! There is absolutely nothing but good that can possibly come from a Marriage Encounter weekend. We had an awesome time-----renewed our commitment, and have hope. P.S. Davis–thx for the PM----that meant alot~~BTW–have you and your wife gone to a Marriage Encounter weekend? You’d love it!

Michael: I’m so glad for you and your wife, that you had this special weekend, and that you now have this renewed hope as well. I’ll be praying for you friend. Keep “dialoguing”~~~~~

God Bless~~
