WHY USE A MARRIAGE MENTOR?

More and more churches are seeing the value in having trained lay couples with relatively healthy and happy marriages come alongside engaged couples to coach and mentor them for a period of time.

You may be wondering how effective this approach is. Here’s what we know for sure:

• Marriage Mentoring works. It’s tried and tested, proven and effective.

• It’s fun.

• The couples doing the mentoring get as much out of it as those being mentored.

• Sixty-two percent of church going couples say they’d like to find a mentor couple.

• It’s biblical.

• Marriage Mentoring is a clear example of what Paul called “empowering the laity” (Ephesians 4:12).
