Marriage Encounter: Just the facts... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Marriage Encounter is a weekend program designed to help married couples improve their marriage (The state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life (or until divorce)) and solve problems before they escalate into divorce (The legal dissolution of a marriage). |
 | | Over the course of the weekend, Marriage Encounter tries to instill in the couples a pattern of communication (Something that is communicated by or to or between people or groups) that will serve them for their entire married life. |
 | | Organizers say that a Marriage Encounter is not a retreat (A place of privacy; a place affording peace and quiet), marriage clinic, group sensitivity training, or a substitute for counseling (Something that provides direction or advice as to a decision or course of action), though elements of these are included in the program. |
