Finding community at home
Married couples who have attended a Worldwide Marriage Encounter experience are blessed with incredible communication tools to support and fortify their marriage, in good times and tough times. Check out the tools supplied here!
The WWME Five Tools
Worldwide Marriage Encounter provides Five Tools to help us keep our relationship a priority. Now, more than ever, we can use those tools to build or even rebuild and maintain relationship in our marriage. They are:
- Attention to Our Communication In and Out of Dialogue
- Couple Prayer
- Attention to Our Sexual Relationship
- Being Involved in the WWME Community
- Reevaluation
Remember during the Renewal following your weekend experience, a couple gave a presentation, and attendees completed the following exercise. We encourage you to:
- Individually, each, create a list of goals for your marriage
- Together, look over each other’s goals and create a revised list of common goals, as a couple.
- Together, decide on the top three mutual goals to make a priority in your lives, right now.
- Together, select one of those goals to focus on, today.
- Determine as a husband, wife and a couple actions you can take to accomplish this goal.
- Determine as husband and wife, what attitudes and behaviors you will need to focus on to make change.
- Dialogue on this question: How do I feel about setting goals as a couple? DILD
Finally, use the resources listed on this page to continue to achieve these goals.
