My husband and I attended Engaged Encounter before we married many years ago because it was required of us (we are Catholic). I must admit, I went reluctantly. Did some whining and grumbling. Instead of slogging through paternalistic preaching and Catholic church do's and don'ts as I thought we would probably do, I found it to be really positive and uplifting, interesting and thought provoking. It made me even more sure of the commitment that my future husband and I would be making to one another. I would highly recommend it, or a similar program, to anyone.
