Join the MN Marriage Encounter Community: Strengthening Marriages and Sharing the Gift of Love

Awesome Opportunity: Strengthen Marriages as a Team Couple

At MN Marriage Encounter, we are blessed to have an amazing group of Team Couples. These couples are committed to the philosophy: “Our messy marriages are our message.” By sharing their personal stories, they help others open up and connect on a deeper level. Serving as a Team Couple allows you to grow personally and spiritually, while also making a meaningful impact on others.

Each new team couple is welcomed with open arms, regardless of where they are in their journey. Our program supports them every step of the way, ensuring they feel equipped and confident to present their talks. If you’ve participated in a Marriage Encounter, you’ve seen firsthand the power of openness and vulnerability. Now, we invite you to consider serving on a team and playing an integral role in strengthening marriages.

Many couples serve on at least one Marriage or Engaged Encounter weekend each year. As you serve, you’ll find that the experience is as enriching for you as it is for the couples who attend. The more you give, the more you receive—this is truly a partnership that strengthens everyone involved.


Board Members Needed: Join Us in Leading the Way

We’re excited to announce that after a long break due to the pandemic, MN Marriage Encounter is resurrecting our board! We’ll be meeting via Zoom three times a year, and we’re looking to add two new members to help lead the charge.

If you’re passionate about marriage enrichment and want to serve with like-minded individuals, please consider joining our board. It’s an exciting time for us, and we would love for you to be a part of this wonderful group.

For more information, please reach out to Mary at 651.454.3238 or email mary@marriages.org.


Word-of-Mouth Marketing: Help Us Spread the Word!

We’ve always believed that word-of-mouth marketing is the most powerful way to spread the message of Marriage Encounter. The couples who attend and experience our programs are our best advocates. Men, we especially encourage you to share your experience with family members, friends, or co-workers—encourage them to attend!

Here are some testimonials from couples who attended the October 19-20 Marriage Encounter:

  • “We agreed to spend more time communicating and watching for signs that we weren’t talking enough.”
  • “Very valuable and time well spent. I feel my marriage will be stronger and more fulfilling.”
  • “Communication, mainly what we were lacking as a couple. Honesty and trust are something we are working on. Thank you so much!”

If you’re willing to help promote our upcoming weekends, we have bulletin board posters available to distribute at your church, community center, or local stores. Please contact us at 651.454.3238 or email mary@marriages.org to request your posters.

Navigating Dry Times in Marriage: A Commitment to Love and Perseverance

Navigating Dry Times in Marriage: A Commitment to Love and Perseverance

Weathering the Storms of Marriage

Many marriages have dry times, but please don’t let that take you down the road to divorce. Ten years down the road you want to look in your children’s eyes and say, in all honesty; “We tried everything to save this marriage!”

Commitment Amidst Challenges

Absolutely, many marriages go through challenging phases where the spark seems to have dimmed and life becomes routine. It’s during these times that the strength and commitment of both partners are truly tested. But it’s important to remember these dry spells may be temporary and can be navigated with effort, understanding, and communication. Even if they are long term, the courage, faith, and strength involved in the resolution is an example to ALL who know you.

Proactive Steps to Revive Your Relationship

One key to overcoming these tough times is to actively work on the relationship. This could mean setting aside time to connect with each other, whether through date nights, open conversations, or even counseling if needed. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive. Small gestures of love and appreciation can reignite the flame and remind each other why you fell in love in the first place.

The Impact on Children

Moreover, considering the impact on your children can be a powerful motivator. Children benefit immensely from a stable, loving environment, and seeing their parents work through difficulties can teach them valuable lessons about perseverance and commitment. Being able to tell your children, “We tried everything to save this marriage,” not only sets an example of dedication but also provides them with a sense of security and incredible love!

The Reward of Resilience

In the end, every effort made to strengthen and revive a marriage is worthwhile. While the journey may be difficult, the rewards of overcoming challenges together can lead to a deeper, more resilient bond. So, hang in there and fight for your marriage; in the future you and your children will go beyond thanking you for it.
