The Discovery Weekend is a weekend experience held in the Philippines for engaged couples or "steadies" who are seriously considering marriage. The purpose of the program are the following:
- to assess each one's relationship to oneself, to each other, to God and the Christian community
- to experience, develop and deepen their relationship through a method of communication and dialogue which they can bring into their marriage
- to witness to the many dimensions of marriage openly, honestly and realistically through a team of three married couples and a priest
- to be able to plan their marriage and not just their wedding
The Discovery Weekend is for couples seriously considering marriage. They can be engaged to marry in a week's time or going steady for a short period but contemplating marriage. The weekend is not necessarily for perfectly matched couples nor is it designed to help unstable relationships. The program is intended to enrich and deepen the couple's relationship to better prepare them for marriage. So any couple may join the program, regardless of the status of their relationship-as long as marriage is in their minds.
