05479. MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER. The unique nature of the marriage encounter, being one on one encounter as opposed to group encounter, is discussed. The focus of encounter is assumed to be honest revelation of two spirits, not a therapy session for two persons. The Christian concept of marriage and thus the Christian assumption involved in encounter are discussed. A negative appraisal of the validity of these assumptions is offered. 5 pages, 0 footnotes, 0 bibliographic sources.
