Marriage enrichment

Grace Marriage

Starting in August/September, four parishes in the Diocese of Lexington are offering “Grace Marriage,” a ministry starting in Owensboro and based on a simple idea: Four focused (and fun!) half-day Saturday mini-retreats over the school year, in which married couples gather with each other to deepen their marriages. To be a part of this opportunity, see here

If your parish is interested in starting a “Grace Marriage” group, email Mike at mallen@cdlex.org.

Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME)

One excellent resource is Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME), a ministry that provides periodic marriage enrichment weekend retreats in central Kentucky and in Ohio. WWME promises an opportunity for couples to take good marriages to great. See link for more information about upcoming weekends.

Another option could include you contacting your parish pastor or staff regarding your interest in helping coordinate a marriage enrichment event for your parish, which could include any of the following:

    • A candlelight dinner for couples, featuring a guest speaker on an issue related to marriage.
    • A half or full day enrichment program at your parish, led by the Family Life Director or another person of the parish’s choosing.
    • An ongoing group couples study centered around a particular book or curriculum.
