What Encountered Couples Say About Their Weekend"I was enticed by the idea of a weekend away with my husband; one without interruptions that would let us spend some quality time together. True to my expectations, the UME Weekend was really awesome as my husband and I learnt more about each other and shared our feelings. We filled each other's love tank during that weekend and have learnt how to continuously do so."
~ Dadina & Adam Ong, encountered in Singapore, April 2016. "The UME Weekend taught us how to communicate at a much deeper level. We believe that the Weekend was God-given and we strongly recommend couples invest in their marriage by attending it." ~ Tafline & Kelvin Sum, encountered in Singapore 2014 "It is during this UME weekend that my super unromantic husband said to me, 'I want to be your true north.' - a line from Message in A Bottle, a movie I dragged him to during our courtship days. Who is to know that years later, he can still remember this line and repeat it to me. This weekend also gave us the chance to rekindle our romance and reminded me why I fell in love with this man years ago." ~ Pearlyn & Kum Chee, encountered in Shanghai, Feb 2014. "We both strived for a perfect marriage; after the Weekend, we realized marriage could be beautifully imperfect." ~ Snow & Cheng Chen, encountered in Singapore, April 2012. "We discovered much more about each other; our needs and wants. We also picked up many practical communication skills that we could apply in our daily lives." ~ Lynette & Terence Tan, encountered in Singapore, May 2011. "It was a breakthrough for our marriage; the first time we could truly share and feel each other's heartbeat, without fear but with trust." ~ Sarah & Schubert Foo, encountered in Singapore Nov 2010. "The UME Weekend was a bitter-sweet experience for us. It was bitter when we had to do certain things we were not accustomed to. But it all ended on a sweet note when we 'rediscovered' each other, after being married for 13 years." ~ Pauline & David H T Tan, encountered in Singapore, Nov 2010. "The UME Weekend has touched our lives so much. What we've discovered during that amazing experience has continued to strengthen our marriage.
