The GIft of Love

Who doesn't enjoy receiving gifts of love? If you know of any married couple who has not yet been encountered, inviting them to the next ME Weekend is THE gift of love! It's something tangible that you can give a couple to not only enrich their marriage but the lives of all their loved ones. ME is unique in that it allows couples to dig within themselves to discover how much in love they are with their spouses, even after 5, 10, 20, 30, years of marriage. The true secret to a healthy and loving marriage is excellent communication and that is the essence of Marriage Encounter.

If you're interested in inviting a friend, please feel free to have them contact Jake & Jackie Van Dam at 285-9272. Registration is still ongoing for the Fall Weekend scheduled fo October 8~10, 2010 at the Saipan Grand Hotel. The cost is $50 per couple and includes two nights' accommodation, all meals and materials. What a deal! There is no better gift to give any couple than ME!

The Briones' & Yumul's participate in the "licking the sugar off the donut" game!
The longest married couple: Roger & Teresita Abe (26 yrs) and

The shortest married Couple: Peter & Natashia Tomokane (1 yr)

Peter threw the garter for the guys to catch.
Teresita threw the bouquet!
The last "game" was to read loud the note cards that we all wrote,

expressing our love to our spouses. However, we chose the note cards at random

and laughed hysterically at some of them.

The next event is the ME Weekend from 27-29 March 2009 at the Saipan Grand Hotel.
