Marriage Encounter is a faith based program to help couples grow in their relationship with each other and God. Our group consists of about 6 - 8 married couples that meet once a month. Couples take turns presenting a topic of their choice and then the couples will discuss the topics on their own. The only requirement to join our group is to have participated in a weekend marriage encounter retreat.
Our next meeting is in March.
