The Diocese of Austin, Worldwide Marriage Encounter, Cedarbrake retreat center and several parishes are partnering to offer you the chance to learn more about making decisions to love. On World Marriage Day weekend, February 8-9, marriage enrichments entitled Decisions to Love/Decisiones de Amar will be offered around the diocese. They are designed for married couples to retreat from the busy, noisy, complex world and focus on each other to make their good marriages even better. Options are available on either Saturday or Sunday, in English or Spanish. Select the enrichment that best fits your needs. Each enrichment is a half-day, closing with either Saturday anticipatory mass or Sunday mass at a parish or Cedarbrake retreat center. Cost is $25/couple and includes materials and snacks. Catholic couples will share their stories of growth, challenge and love—inspiring you to grow closer by making daily decisions to love.
Worldwide Marriage Encounter established World Marriage Day to honor the importance of marriage as a foundation for the family and as an important building block of society. The enrichments offered in our diocese for World Marriage Day 2025 can be viewed as a taste of what a couple can enjoy at a Marriage Encounter experience, typically held over a weekend at a local Austin hotel or Cedarbrake retreat center.
