Marriage Enrichment or Marriage Help

The Catholic Church cares about your marriage. Every marriage witnesses to God’s faithful, fruitful and lasting love for his people. Marriage confers numerous benefits on a husband and wife and the children they are blessed to have. The Diocese of Little Rock aims to help couples keep their marriages strong, happy and holy through programs designed to strengthen marriages or restore them. Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME) and Encuentro Matrimonial teach married couples a technique of loving communication they can use for the rest of their lives. Retrouvaille is for married couples facing difficult challenges. It offers tools to help couples with troubled marriages heal. | Calendar of Events | Español
