From Wilimington ME Circle:

 

Worldwide Marriage Encounter Hosts “God Chose You for Me”, a Catholic Marital Retreat 

[Wilmington, North Carolina] – Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME) is proud to announce a transformative seven-hour experience titled “God Chose You for Me.” The retreat is designed to help married couples deepen their spiritual connection and develop a personalized couple prayer by exploring the divine aspects of their union. 

The “God Chose You for Me” retreat will be held on February 21, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM eastern time in Wilmington, NC. The cost is $125 per couple. 

The “God Chose You for Me” retreat is led by a team consisting of a priest or deacon, a married couple, and a surviving spouse. They will share their personal experiences of building strong spiritual foundations within their own marriages and their work with other couples. 

The retreat begins with the exploration of matrimonial spirituality, rooted in the love shared between husband and wife as a reflection of God’s presence. Participants will examine how their marital vows reveal God’s love for all His children and how the Sacrament of Matrimony bestows special graces upon each couple and that of the entire church.

 “Once you have said ‘yes’ to the Sacrament of Matrimony, the primary way God calls you to Him is through your married relationship,” Father Larry Brault, the priest who co-authored the event.

 Throughout the retreat, couples will be guided in creating a personal couple prayer developed progressively after each chapter of reflection. This prayer will serve as a daily spiritual practice, reinforcing their commitment and spiritual bond.

 Previous participants of WWME’s retreats, Bob and Melinda said: “It’s an experience of why you married in the first place and how you have grown in your love with God in the center.” 

 “God Chose You for Me” is a journey of reflections deepened by the Sacrament of Matrimony. This experience helps couples mature in their love and culminate a commitment that brings holiness into their lives.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
