We would like to thank you very much for this weekend.  We felt we knew a lot about each other but this weekend helped increase that knowledge as well as made us feel more normal in our up and down moments.

Thank you for sharing your personal issues with us. It really helped us with our own issues

While it would be earnestly honest to reveal that we came to the monastery “as required” by our preist. We wish to pass along that we left on Sunday with a feeling of accomplishment and a feeling that we had just added a little more horsepower to the engine that makes us go as a couple. Heartfelt thanks to each of you as you continue to journey through the enriching journey that is marraige. Your brutal honesty was refreshing and identifiable to us. We hope that our journey will be similar to yours and yet unique to fit us. Again, much thanks for taking the time from your family to come to the monastery and share yourselves so openly.

We would like to thank you for making our Engaged Encounter Weekend such a wonderful experience. It was obvious that you spent a lot of time and energy preparing for the weekend. The personal and intimate details of your relationship that you so openly shared, and being in a quiet place away from all of the everyday distractions, enabled us to share in depth so many of the things we had touched on in the past, and it really brought us closer. We appreciate all of the sacrafices you made to strengthen our relationship, and we highly recommend the Engaged Encounter Weekend to all couples who are planning to get married. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the great weekend and for giving us the courage to tackle the tough issues.  We have grown and our marriage will be better for it.
