You Are Essential for MN Marriage Encounter’s Marketing Program!

Word of mouth has always been the most powerful way to market Marriage Encounter. We depend on YOU to share the marvelous gift Marriage Encounter brings to marriages.

Why Share Your Experience?

Please share with family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances what your Marriage Encounter experience did for YOU. Keep in mind that while Marriage Encounter celebrates good marriages, many couples have come to the program during challenging times.

Who Can Benefit from Marriage Encounter?

Marriage Encounter is designed for couples who want to deepen their relationship, including:

• Couples experiencing stress who need the communication skills to navigate challenges together.
• Couples who feel distant and want to revitalize their connection, especially if they find themselves arguing more than talking.
• Couples facing busy lives that make it hard to spend quality time together.

Upcoming Weekends

We hold no programs during the summer, making it challenging to resurrect the movement in the fall. Please promote our upcoming weekends on:

• October 19-20
• December 14-15

Encourage couples to visit www.marriages.org for more information and dates through December 2015. Your help is deeply appreciated!

For couples dealing with issues like infidelity, addictions, or other major challenges, we encourage them to attend Retrouvaille. Learn more here.

Volunteer Opportunities

MN Marriage Encounter has operated with 99.9% volunteer power for over 52 years! Here’s how you can help:

Succession Plan in Place

What a blessing it was to become Director of MN Marriage Encounter in July of 1998! My goal was to be the longest running Executive Director, and I achieved that goal about fifteen years ago. Now, after 26 years and at the age of 81, I am preparing to step down, as the director that is. Rog and I plan to stay involved as a Team Couple as long as the Lord keeps us healthy. 

The marvelous news is, Greg and Heather Mitchell will be stepping into my position. Greg works for Excel Energy and Heather is a teacher. Greg and Heather attended a Marriage Encounter in April of 2013 and became a Team Couple in May of 2014. They have been an incredible gift to the organization, and I am certain their gift will continue to give for years to come.
