The mission of Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME) is “to proclaim the value of Marriage and Holy Orders in the Church and in the World.” Our charism is “Faith through Relationship”. We live our charism by bringing each other and others to Christ through loving relationship.
WWME has strengthened sacramental marriages and supported priests and religious throughout the world for decades. At the heart of Worldwide Marriage Encounter’s philosophy is the deep-seated belief that the Sacraments of Matrimony and Holy Orders are powerful and precious gifts given by God to the Church.
The WWME experience allows husbands and wives to create a dialogue with each other and with God, to create a higher and broader understanding of what it means to be married. Priests and Religious are also invited, and encouraged, to attend a Worldwide Marriage Encounter experience. Click here for more information.
Over the course of the weekend, three couples and a Priest use examples from their own lives to guide couples through common themes:
- Exploring our personality styles
- Appreciating our differences
- Listening in a new way
- Communicating intimately
- Addressing difficult topics
- Discovering God’s desire for our marriage
- Continuing the journey
There’s no group discussion. (all presentations will be in English, however workbooks can be made available in Spanish or French if requested in advance).

Worldwide Marriage Encounter is recognized as an International Association of the Faithful by the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life. This official Vatican recognition reflects the witness of countless couples, priests, and religious whose lives have been renewed through this ministry and whose commitment continues to strengthen families and communities within the Church.
Worldwide Marriage Encounter Atlantic Canada is a CRA registered charity (#119304897 RR 0001).
Faithful to the Roman Catholic Church’s definition that marriage is a covenant that exists between one man and one woman, any reference to “marriage” or “couple” made by Worldwide Marriage Encounter is in this context.
