My spouse does not attend church (or is not Catholic), can we still get anything out of a Marriage Encounter?

In short, YES!  Experiences are for husband and wife couples of all denominations, mixed faiths, or no religious affiliation. Among the diverse couples attending we’ve had a variety of protestant faiths, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, and no faith affiliation to name a few. All have successfully been able to fully participate and gain from the experience.

All we ask is that all spouses attend with an open heart, a respect for others, and others’ beliefs as Experiences are predominantly Roman Catholic in expression, presented by a Catholic Priest and Catholic married couples. We believe God’s loving presence has an integral role in us fully living our Sacrament.

We encourage all interested in attending to contact us if you have questions about whether the Experience is a right fit for you.
