Worldwide Marriage Encounter recently celebrated its 40th anniversary and its presence in over 90 countries makes it the largest pro-marriage movement in the world. In the United States, the movement is divided into 19 sections based on geography and language (English, Spanish and Korean), while in Canada it is divided into six districts (English and French).
