Welcome to Marriage Encounter!

A Marriage Encounter weekend is a process that married couples experience in the course of two or three days. This weekend gives spouses an opportunity to grow in their marriage through open and honest communication, face-to-face sharing, and heart to heart encounter in a comfortable, relaxed setting.


NME invites and encourages married couples of all ages and faith expressions to share in this experience and to become an integral part of this journey.
