Couples that are looking for couples retreats have often heard of the faith based marriage counseling weekend retreats called Marriage Encounter. Those couples that often call us and ask how our own intense marriage counseling retreats differ.
More inspiration on marriage retreats:
- Looking for a non religious marriage retreat?
- Christian marriage counseling
- Imago therapy’s Getting the Love You Want Marriage Retreat
Marriage Encounter was founded in 1952 by a priest who welcomed couples primarily from the Christian faith to be able to come to a couples retreat and feel comfortable being surrounded by other couples who wanted faith based marriage counseling.
Marriage Encounter was helpful to those couples in that it taught couples counseling methods that opened people up to communicating well and sharing in a safe environment.
How are our Couples Retreats different?
Our own couples retreats are different.
- Marriage Encounter does NOT offer couples counseling or marriage therapy during their weekend retreat. There are no professional therapists at the retreat, their retreat is comprised of volunteer couples and priests.
- Marriage Encounter is centered around the Christian/Catholic faith and is religion oriented. Our own couples retreat is not based on religion. However, couples from all faiths will feel comfortable in our couples retreats due to our traditional views on family and marriage.
- The retreat is not private, in that there are other couples present. We offer both private and group marriage retreats.
