About Us
Edmonton Anglican Marriage Encounter (EAME) is a partner with the Anglican Diocese of Edmonton, Canada. We use the Common Protestant Outline (CPO) offered under license from Worldwide Marriage Encounter® - the original, faith-based, marriage enrichment experience. Millions of couples in over 100 countries have found more joy and happiness in their marriage relationship through Marriage Encounter.
What We Believe
All marriages need attention to survive and ultimately, to thrive. We believe in being 'proactive' rather than 'reactive'; why wait until there are bigger challenges in your marriage? Why not learn some skills along our marriage journey?. This experience gives couples time to learn and practice a whole new way to communicate about both the small and the “big” things in their relationship. Expect to work together to make your most important relationship successful and more joyful. Make this experience a priority for your relationship by committing to the entire schedule and enjoy every second of this respite from the many demands of your daily life – jobs, kids, chores, in-laws, interests, and leisure activities. You won’t regret it!
Who It’s For
A Marriage Encounter experience is for a man and woman who are married to each other, regardless of their religious beliefs. While our experiences are associated with and led by couples from an Anglican Christian tradition, couples of many faiths and ages have enjoyed the benefits of this private marriage enrichment experience. There is no pressure to encourage anyone to adopt Christian beliefs during this experience. The goal is solely to help each married person better understand their spouse and themselves with respect to their relationship.
Worldwide Marriage Encounter
Couples of all faiths – or of no faith – 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.
One session about God and marriage also may differ slightly, depending on the faith expression. Worship services during the experience will differ as well, but all couples are warmly invited to participate no matter their religious affiliation.
