Marriage Enrichment for Couples
We work at improving our golf swing, we join groups to learn
more about our favorite hobbies, we read about new recipes to try in our own
kitchens, we join the gym to improve our health (and let's face it to improve
our appearance as we grow older), and we work at deepening our
understanding of our Catholic faith. Our marriages deserve and will benefit
from the same kind of work toward improvement.

DAILY MARRIAGE TIP! (click below)
Any married couple who desires a richer, fuller life together, will enjoy Worldwide Marriage Encounter (ME). This weekend is designed to deepen and enrich the joys a couple shares together, whether you have been married a short time or many years. The weekend is oriented strictly to each individual couple. A series of presentations are given by a team of Catholic couples and a Catholic priest. Each presentation allows you and your spouse a rare opportunity to look at yourselves as individuals, then to look at your marriage and your relationship to one another, and finally to look at your relationship to God, the Church and the world. After each presentation, the husband and wife have time in the privacy of their room for their own personal discussion, using a unique communication technique taught on the weekend. The weekend starts at 8:00 p.m. Friday night and runs until about 4:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon. A $35. NON-REFUNDABLE registration fee confirms your food and lodging. At the end of the weekend each couple is given a blank envelope and asked to make a donation. No one is ever refused the opportunity for lack of funds.
TO REGISTER: Please call 314.469.7317 or apply online at www.stl-wwme.org
