become a marriage mentor
Although Marriage Mentors already has over 100 such trained marriage mentor couples in St. Joseph, Elkhart, Kosciusko, & Marshall Counties, more are needed. You need not have any formal training or experience in marriage or family teaching/training, or counseling.
If you have a healthy marriage that you know is the result of the Lord’s grace and blessing, you may very well be a candidate couple to be trained as marriage mentors in Marriage Mentors marriage mentor program.
All couples experience conflict. The difference between a mentor couple and the struggling couple they are mentoring is that the mentor couple is learning and growing from their conflict whereas the “mentee” couple is not and is in fact, spiraling downward.
testimonials
Being in this mentorship brought me and my fiancé closer than ever before! We got to talk about anything that would come up in a marriage and even some of the not so obvious things in marriage such as problems solving or lifestyle expectations. Our mentor couple was amazing as well! They’ll be invited to our wedding...because of the huge impact they’ve made on our relationship. We see them as life-long friends.
Communication is an area we both struggled in and learning the value and importance of communication helped us both very much! We both are learning to solve problems together and communicate feelings to each other! All the issues we talked about were very helpful to us both and (we are) learning how to address issues before they happen! It was a great all around experience!! Keep up the great work!”
