What is The Cost?
A non-refundable application fee is required in order to register for a
Weekend. The amount varies for the different countries, but in the United States
it is $45 US. Marriage Encounter is a totally self-supporting, non-commercial,
non-profit organization. Toward the end of the Weekend, the cost of a Weekend
will be explained. Each couple will be given a blank envelope and will be
asked to make an anonymous donation. The reason we ask for a donation, rather
than charging a set fee, is that we want the Weekend to be available to all
couples regardless of their financial situation. No one is ever denied a Weekend
for financial reasons. After the presentation, you and your spouse will go to
your room and you decide what you wish to do and then you return the envelope.
The only source of income to allow Lutheran Marriage Encounter to continue
offering Weekends is the donations from couples who have experienced Weekends.
Contributions made on or in connection with a Lutheran Marriage Encounter
weekend are kept in strict confidence.
