About Us<\/h2>\nGodLovesMarriage.org is the Lutheran expression of Worldwide Marriage Encounter \u2013 the original, faith-based, marriage enrichment experience that has helped millions of couples in over 80 countries find more joy and happiness in their marriage relationship.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>What We Believe<\/h2>\n
\u201cAnything worth having is worth working for.\u201d This maxim applies to your marriage and to your Marriage Encounter experience. This experience gives couples time to learn and practice a whole new way to communicate about both the small and the \u201cbig\u201d things in their relationship. Expect to work together to make your most important human relationship successful and happy. And make this experience a priority for your relationship by committing to the entire experience to enjoy every second of this too-short respite from the many demands of your daily life \u2013 jobs, kids, chores, in-laws, interests, and leisure activities. You won\u2019t regret it!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Couples of all faiths \u2013 or of no faith \u2013 are welcome to attend any Worldwide Marriage Encounter experience sponsored by the faith of their choice or of any of the faith expressions. The experience is essentially the same no matter which faith expression sponsors it. One notable difference is that Protestant expressions include a pastor and spouse on the presenting team while the Roman Catholic expression includes a priest on the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>
