United Marriage Encounter (UME), founded in 1975, is an international non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening marriages (one man & one woman, legally married). Please note that we are interdenominational, non-profit and not affiliated with any churches or church organisations. UME wants to help good marriages become even better, putting them on a road to transformation that leads to stronger Christian families and stronger Christian communities. The Western New York UME community is a place where marriage is valued, centred in Christ and supported by other Christian couples. We invite YOU to register and become our partners in strengthening marriages.
