FACTS:

In the last 3 years of on-line registrations, we asked couples how they heard about our National Marriage Encounter weekend experience.  The number one response is “personal referral”.  We are sincerely grateful for your referrals!  While personal referral remains our most effective form of advertising, church bulletin announcements are equally valuable in getting the word out to married couples.  Church bulletins remain the second most popular form of referral.

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."
