About Us

World Marriage Encounter is a Catholic movement managed by marriages whose purpose is to help spouses live their relationships intimately and responsibly. The fundamental experience is “the Weekend”, encouraged by the testimony of two or three marriages and a priest who treat different aspects of everyday life. Although Marriage Encounter is of Catholic inspiration, it is open to any belief or religion and also to non-believers.

What we do

The Weekend is more than a set of talks, a practical communication technique is taught and easy to incorporate in everyday life. For marriages, it is an opportunity to enrich their relationship, working for the values that make it stable and lasting. For priests and consecrated persons, it is an experience to reflect on their vocation and strengthen their relationship with their community. For the bride and groom who are thinking of getting married, it is a Weekend to be trained on such an important issue as marriage.

Marriage Encounter in the World

Marriage Encounter is located in about 100 countries and almost 5 million couples have lived “The Weekend” first person.
