What others have said about National Marriage Encounter weekends:

95% of those who have attended a Marriage Encounter weekend have verified that it was a positive and enriching experience for their marriage. Here are some of the responses we've received:

    •    "We've been to many marriage seminars and workshops, but this weekend ran circles around all of them."

    •    "My wife and I have fallen in love again and feel closer than ever before"

    •    "I've been married to my wife for 45 years, I thought I knew everything about her that I needed to know. On that weekend I discovered things about her that I had never known. Now we feel closer than ever!"

    •    "I used to get angry when my wife tried to talk with me, but on the weekend we both felt safe to communicate."

    •    "We've learned more on one M.E. weekend than we have in the last 3 years of counseling."

Michael J. McManus quotes from his book, “Marriage Savers," I am convinced that the single step that could do more than any other to slash America's divorce rate is for every married couple to attend a Marriage Encounter weekend."
