 My husband and I made our Marriage Encounter in February of 1976 in Milwaukee, WI. It was a transforming weekend for us therefore, we got involved as volunteers immediately. When we moved to MN in 1981, we became volunteers with the local Marriage Encounter Community. After 17 years of volunteering with the MN affiliate, I became Director of MN Marriage Encounter in July 1998.
 Observing the incredible impact the weekend has on a couples relationships keeps me motivated to stay involved.Tell a Friend
