Our weekend changed our lives. It helped us to validate what we were already doing to communicate and to enhance an already good marriage.

Going to the AGME in San Diego,CA from 8-26 to 8-28-05 was one of the best things my wife and I have done for our marriage. The staff knew their material well, sensitive to others' feelings, and God led. After being married for 11 years, my wife and I seem to have received new wings in our relationship...we feel so much closer and more open than before. I especially enjoy our new mode of communication. Thank you for this awesome ministry!

I remember my parents going to this when I was a teen. Now I've been married 23 years and my oldest daughter got married this past weekend. I would love for her and her husband to attend.

We just returned from our ME week-end and found it to be one of the most rewarding experiences of our marriage. We were overwhelmed by the time, love, effort and prayer that other couples gave to make sure our encounter would be all that it could be. We recommend Marriage Encounter to any couple, young or old. It is transforming!

My husband and I had a good marriage before our weekend, however we have always believed it can always get better. And it did. Our weekend was almost 3 years ago now and we have 2 or 3 couples to ME and are currently trying to send another couple to MR. I pray God blesses you and your ministry. Thanks!

My husband was killed in the USS Cole bombing in Yemen (October 12, 2000.)
We had attended the Marriage Encounters weekend in November of 1998 in Virginia Beach, VA. I can't tell you how thankful I am that we went that weekend. God had completely arranged for us to be able to go. I still have the notebook he wrote to me in, and I am so thankful for that! We learned things about each other that we never knew before. He told me things about how I made him feel and how important I was to him... things I never knew he felt. We had always communicated, but we weren't understanding what the other was trying to say. That weekend changed that cycle for us. I would encourage anyone to try this program. It is an experience that may change your lives!
God bless!

Here are some comments from the Ontario, CA weekend:
"I've heard so many great things that I knew the Lord was providing for us to be here this weekend."
"Make a great marriage even better, it worked! great stuff!"
"Bells, whistles, fireworks. Better communication."
"I thought it would be a visual "church retreat" Thank God it was not."
"Our marriage has been enhanced and our lives changed."
"I had no idea what to expect. I was hoping for a renewed marriage because I wasn't happy with mine, but after this weekend I have a new love and a new marriage. The weekend was beyond my wildest dreams."

Kenny and I attended the marriage encounter this last week end in Kansas City. It was a great time for us to share and inhance our relationship and communication skills. We learned to listen with our hearts not just with our heads. We had a good marriage already but this enabled us to inhance it to a higher level. We both were able to share our true feelings with one another and learned to trust each other even more with our feelings. We are so thankful and greatful for the people that did the presentation. They were great. The motel and food were great we enjoyed our stay very very much. We are looking forward to getting involved with Marriage Encouter in the future. We would very much like to be involved in the presentation. Mark and Lisa gave us a form to fill out. Both Kenny and I would like to share our marriage exspirences with other couples and see marriages changed for the better. That is our hearts desirer. Thanks again to everyone who was envolved with putting this Marriage Encounter togeather in Kansas City. We will be telling other couples about the up coming Marriage Encounter in April and encourgeing them to go. God Bless.

We loved our weekend in Colorado Springs in 1998. Our marriage went from wonderful to marvelous as we learned new communication styles and had time planned for us to talk since we were new parents and were short on 'together' time. Thank you for hosting, we are anxious to be able to go again!

My wife Patsy and just finished attending Marriage Encounter in Tulsa, Ok hosted by Chuck and Becky Zewick and others.
It was a fantastic weekend that we will never be able to forget.
My wife and I have been married for 35 years and like many other couples, we had trouble communicating.
To Charles, Becky, the Farmers, the Rhodes and the others that I fell to name, THANK YOU!
You literally have saved our marriage; not necessarily from divorce but from continued lack of communication.
The past weekend has been an experience that has chage our lives and our feelings toward each other forever.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT!
PS: I would highly recommend this for any married couple regardles how long they have been married, especially if you find your marriage growing cold and stagnate,

We attended in Houston in 1998. At the end of our rope, we thought divorce was inevitable. We had been through more in our two years of marriage than most go through in I am proud to say we are still together today and serving God more than ever.

We attended our Marriage Encounter in April of this year. We are newlyweds for second time for both and thought we had a good marriage. After our weekend we realized that it wasn't what we thought and through God's grace we are working to make it better each and every day. We are closer and communicate more effectively now because of Marriage Encounter. We hope that all couples have the opportunity to experience God's grace and take the time to improve a marriage. No matter how good you make think it is, there's always room for improvement. Thank you. God Bless you!!

My husband and I attended Marriage Encounter two weeks ago. We had an awesome time together and have become closer than ever. We have been married for almost 2 years, but never has our marriage been as rich as it is today.
Before our weekend, our marriage was good. We both love the Lord with all our hearts and service Him faithfully. We talked about things and had a better then average marriage, we thought.
After our encounter weekend, WOW! Things are better then I could ever ask or think! The methods we learned about communicating are working!! Just yesterday I told my husband that our relationship was so very good that I felt like I am dreaming. But he assured me I was not. :-)
The tools you taught us are very, very powerful. GOD USED MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER TO CREATED A TRUE MIRACLE IN OUR MARRIAGE!! OUR WEEKEND WAS A TOTAL ANSWER TO PRAYER!
I believe every couple really needs to attend at least one Marriage Encounter. It will strengthen your marriage too. Why not get away with your spouse and give it a try? You will be blessed!
Thank You Lord for my AWESOME HUSBAND!
Praise Him Always,
John and Susan

We attended our first marriage encounter when my husband was stationed in Germany. It was the first ME that they held in Germany. I think it was in 1990. It holds many beautiful memories for us. We then attended another ME in Minnesota while my husband was in Bible College in North Dakota. I think it must have been in 1994-1996. My husband is a pastor now and we encourage our congregation to attend ME. You guys are great!

We went to our first Marriage Encounter in Columbus, GA. in March 2003. We weren't sure of what to expect because our marriage was on the verge of divorce. But we thought we would give this a chance. I can honestly say this was the BEST thing we could have ever done for our marriage. I feel that our love for each other has been totally renewed. Also that our marriage has been given another chance. If you will just take the first step to go and give this program a chance, I know your marriage can be blessed.

This was our second Encounter, the first one was when we were only married for a year. 15 years later, we did it again and it was just as powerful. We had some friends that needed the Encounter, so we paid for their weekend as a gift. This is a ministry that is well worth investing in. If the marriage is solid, the home will be solid. If the home is solid, then the children will be solid. If the children are solid, then this country will see a generation that will do great and mighty things.

We were encountered in April of 2002 and it has changed our life. We have and are still doing the 90day guarantee questions and try not to miss one day. It has opened up a whole new world of communication to us. We have been married 2 1/2yrs and have a excellent marriage, and wanted it to get even better and it has. Thank you so much for such a wonderful program.
We would like to know if you have bumper stickers with Marriage Encounter on them.
We would also like to thank John and April Hill for doing such a wonderful job here in Florida.
Sincerely, Bob and Mary Zeller

My wife and I attended our first ME weekend this past weekend. It was absolutely phenomenal. A true blessing from God. My wife and I have been married for nine years, this month and together for eleven. Before this weekend we communicated very well......so I thought. The methods used in this program cause you to reach deep down in the pits of your soul to bring up every feeling about every single, minute aspect of yours and your spouses life, apart and together. Through communication or dialogue the two of you discuss one anothers thoughts and feelings. By the end of your weekend you are completely exhausted from all the writing, thinking, and soul searching yet you are completely overwhelmed by your new spouse. I whole heartedly suggest that every couple should experience an ME weekend.
All the Glory to God
in His name,
David King

We went to Marriage Encounter with hopes that it would be beneficial for the couples we brought from our church. You see we were pastoring a church at the time. We never expected to leave our weekend with our own marriage transformed! Wow! What a difference it has made for us and our ministry! We highly recommed it to any clergy couple.

My husband, Gary, and I attended an ME weekend 20 years ago, in Long Beach, CA. It was the Catholic version, although we are A/G. It was a life changing experience for us and I was more than thrilled to learn there is an A/G version. I encourage every couple to experience ME for themselves.

We were encountered a year ago, and what a marriage changing experience it was! I went a little apprehensively, not really knowing what was going to happen.
(I didn't want to spill my deepest thoughts and feelings to a bunch of strangers! Instead, I found that if I wanted to, the only person I had to talk to the entire weekend was my wife ... and we found a lot to talk about.)
Our weekend was truly the best thing that could have happened. I only regret that we did not attend a Marriage Encounter weekend years earlier. What a difference it would have made ...
Husbands, please, for your sake, your wife's sake, your family's sake, and your marriage's sake ... please, please attend a weekend with your wife. Your relationship will never be the same again.

My wife and I attended a Marriage Encounter the weekend of March 8-10 in Indianapolis. I was not interested and was even a little belligerent at my wife wanting to go. I expected it to be a weekend of being told that I needed to “shape up and fly right”. I was relieved to discover that it wasn’t a weekend of husband bashing, but instead a weekend of getting to know each other all over again (and falling madly in love again). By the time the weekend was over I had made a lot of new friends; the most important of which was my wife of nearly 19 years.
The changes in our lives (plural) have been dramatic and wonderful. Most importantly, the changes have been to both of us. Our hearts and marriage have been refreshed and renewed. I now wish we had attended an encounter weekend long before we actually did. We have encouraged our family and friends to register for the next Encounter in our area later this year.

My husband and I have been married for 26 years, 5 kids between us. we have a very happy relationship in most areas but we have a in-laws. blended children, retirement, relocating, and church family problems. we took our focus off god and why he put and kept us together all these years. marriage encounters helped us remember why we are together and how important it is for us to stay together. that marriage encounter weekend changed out views, improve out communication skills which we're never good at from day one, shown us how we are examples for the world to see the relationship is to his children. it's not like we didn't already know these things; we did but had misplaced them through lifes ups and downs over a period of 26 years. I just want to say thank you to whole group of people that ministered to us this year a month ago. because of our experiences we have been able to stop two other couples from devoice. thank you.

My wife & I were on the verge of divorce. There was no hope, we thought. Then we found out about Marriage Restored. It was God sent. It is not a "quick fix", but a tool that the Lord uses to keep families together & succeed. I have never been happier & I haven't seen my wife happier. We will work till Jesus comes.

We have just returned from our marriage encounter weekend, it was an awesome weekend. We learned so many skills to help us rebuild our marriage into a great marriage.
We were at the point of no return in our marriage. We had seprated and was considering a divorce. But by the grace of God we have received a new start and a renewal of our commiment to each other.
My husband says forever!
Every couple should experiance ME,no matter how good or hopeless their marriage may seem. You will receive skills to enhance your love and commiment to one another.
You will not regret the time invested into the weekend.
God hates divorce and He is willing to help you work thru whatever is troubling your marriage.
We invited God into our lives and marriage and He did more then we could ever ask or think to restore the love we shared from the beginning.
All of the people who give of their time and share their past hurts is nothing short of a blessing.
"THANKS TO ALL OF YOU".
To all of you who have doubts about marriage encounter, try it, I can assure you,there will be no regrets.
"IT WORKS".

My husband and I have been married for 1 1/2 years. We recently attended Marriage Encounter and enjoyed every minute of it!! What a powerful ministry! My husband and I actually consider these 2 days of Marriage encounter better than the 10 days of our honeymoon! We had an absolutely wonderful honeymoon, however Marriage Encounter enabled us to get to know each other in a way we never had before! We are glad we went NOW-early on in our marriage instead of waiting 30 years from now. What a foundation Marriage Encounter has laid for our marriage! We had a wonderful marriage going into the weekend, of course, we are still newlyweds, but the Lord took our Marriage to depths, and a level of oneness we never thought it could go! Every young couple should go to ME! We teach a Young Married's class at our church and cannot wait to tell them about this powerful ministry! To those of you involved with ME-THANK YOU! Thank you for your dedication to this powerful ministry!
May God Bless you and your families!

Marriage Encounter was so great for us as a couple. We learned so much about each other that we thought we already knew! We are so thankful for our experience! This is the best investment you can make for your marriage.

We attended our Encounter Weekend In October 1998 and have been involved in this Marriage Changing, Marriage Enhancing, Marriage Blessing ministry since then. We marvel at how God shows up and works in ways we know not possible in the lives of the couples in attendance, to Him it doesn't matter where the couples are in their own relationship with each other or with Him, He orcastrats the entire weekend and miracles began to happen. The entire weekend focuses on the couples attending, they focus on each other, and everyone receives a blessing. We are so greatful for our weekend, we believe every married couple deserves to attend a Marriage Encounter weekend and encourage Pastors,Deacons, Elders everywhere to attend. An Assemblies of God Marriage Encounter is a safe place for married couples to rekindle the fires of their marriage.

My husband and I attended our first encounter this past weekend. I am truly been touched and restored to my husband in our union. I will always be ever thankful for what God has done in us as a couple and as individuals. AGME is the best thing that ever happened to us as a couple!

What a wonderful weekend AGME was! It was a milestone and special memory in our minds and marriage forever. Every couple should make it a priority to attend a ME weekend. It will provide a new depth in each relationship and remind each couple of the reasons they are together. What a great sharing time - a practice launch to a new level of intimacy in marriage.

Our first encounter weekend was throught the Catholic church in the late 1970's and we attended an AG weekend in the late 1980's. We would recommend an encounter weekend for every married couple!

My husband (Andre') and I have truly been blessed as a result of this ministry. Over the past few years we have sponsored several couples attending the Marriage Encounter weekend. Some couples were at the end of their rope and God met them were they were and healed their marriage. God is really working throught this ministry!

We believe that Marriage Encounter and
the way God used it in our lives is the
only reason we are together, today ! We
were ready to divorce and start our lives apart, but God used this Ministry
to open our hearts,and minds to allow God to heal so many awful hurts in our lives. We are ever grateful for the blessing of Marriage Encounter and the wonderful people who give from their hearts and lives to make it happen ! We pray that God will richly bless and multiply this Ministry !! There are so many hurting couples who desperately need the blessed touch of Marriage Encounter !!
