Marriage Mentoring is about one experienced couple walking with another couple to help them succeed in their relationship. It's pretty simple. In the early years, couples can be taken unaware of the issues they face and can feel alone in their struggles. Through a series of focused conversations, marriage mentoring normalises those struggles and gives couples help and hope. The result is revitalised relationships, both for the couples mentoring and those being mentored.
"We found renewed hope for our marriage knowing we weren't alone in our challenges." -Mentored couple
"We were surprised how easy and enjoyable being marriage mentors is. This is great information. We are not just helping enrich other couples' marriages but also our own." -Mentor couple
TRAINING: Mentor couples receive fantastic online video training. Both the time (three and a half hours) and costs are minimal. We recommend mentor couples have been married for at least 7 years. The added benefit we've observed, is the marriages of the mentor couples are also strengthened.
TIMELINE: Both couples commit to meeting one night a month over a year. Each topic supports a healthy marriage with a conversation guide and a take-home project.
The cost of training is free, however, $75 is required to cover the cost of Conversation Guides for mentor and mentee couples, including postage.
