Orange County - Engaged Encounter

Orange County - Engaged Encounter The Engaged Encounter Weekend offers couples a unique opportunity to look at their commitment to each other in a deeper way as they prepare for marriage.

In 1974, in response to the growing incidence of separation and divorce, the newly formed Marriage Encounter Resource Community turned their attention to marriage preparation. Adapting the Marriage Encounter Weekend to the needs of engaged couples, they presented their first weekend in 1975. The response was overwhelming and immediate. By the end of that year more than 100 couples and 50 priests w

ere trained to give weekends throughout the United States. Today, Catholic Engaged Encounter has grown to be an international organization that serves thousands of couples each year.

Saying “I do” is more than two words - it’s a promise to love and support your spouse unconditionally. But, once reality sets in, it can be a challenge to stay on track and continue pursuing a Christ-centered relationship filled with passion and purpose. This is why we’ve created the 31-Day Pursuit Challenge, a His and Her book bundle that encourages you to grow together as though you were physically exploring the map that God intended for your marriage ==> https://31daypursuit.com

This 31 day challenge will take you and your spouse on a journey to explore a love that is defined by selflessness, service, affection, friendship, and thoughtfulness - all in light of the gospel. The bundle includes two books: Wife in Pursuit and Husband in Pursuit, each filled with relatable scripture, devotional content, and questions that will prompt the two of you to have honest conversations and discover new ways of showing genuine affection. Not only that, but we have included 50 creative date ideas that will inspire you both to try new things together. Who knows, maybe you two will become the next scuba-diving masters 🙂

It’s time to pursue your spouse out of love that is fueled by how deeply and eternally you are loved in Christ. Begin the challenge today and explore love like never before ==> https://31daypursuit.com/

Good lessons for husbands from St. John Chrysostom (d. 407).

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church (para. 2365): “St. John Chrysostom suggests that young husbands should say to their wives: I have taken you in my arms, and I love you, and I prefer you to my life itself. For the present life is nothing, and my most ardent dream is to spend it with you in such a way that we may be assured of not being separated in the life reserved for us.... I place your love above all things, and nothing would be more bitter or painful to me than to be of a different mind than you." Wow!

"I want to remember that Jesus who blessed the marriage at Cana wants to be invited to my relationship with my husband. And doing so will heal our wounds, fortify us for life's storms, and help us experience that deep Easter joy."

Andrew and I were passing ideas back forth—sweets, alcohol, eating between meals. What to give up for Lent? I could do the typical, but I want this year to be different. I want to thrill in Easter joy on a level deeper than Reese’s and the relief that the strife is o’er. So I thought I’d start with...
