of Christ Marriage Encounter
Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and responsibilities
where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is guided in the discovery
of new techniques of communicating and sharing with one another. It is not
a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples the opportunity to
examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong points, their attitudes
toward each other and toward their families. Couples are given the opportunity
to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face,
heart-to-heart encounter.
Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples
prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage,
not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples
are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout
their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet
reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense
experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement,
engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to share
their private experiences with the group.

on the Web that monitors the activity of the Children of the Underground
Organization. The authors of this site have been researching this group
for the past decade. They are working on a book and other published works
that details the activities of this group.
We feel that the media has really never got this story right. The Children
of the Underground Watch Web site and Newsletter is our honest and sincere
attempt to fairly and justly inform the public of this issue.
Many of our subscribers and members of the media have asked us who we are.
We do not wish to disclose our true identity to the general public at this
time. These Underground Organizations have a well connected group of litigious
attorneys and private investigators that have been known to harass non-supporting
individuals and organizations. The authors will disclose that politically
they are not affiliated with any specific organization and are supportive
of all major missing children's organizations.
