Become A Mentor
One of the best parts of being a mentor couple? You don’t have to be professionals–just a married couple who has gone through the same life experiences as the couple you’re mentoring. Your expertise and knowledge gained are invaluable to them and add credibility to you as you enter this relationship with your mentees.
Having a perfect marriage, reading all the marriage books out there, or attending various workshops before becoming a mentor is not needed. All we ask is that you show up, pray with, and for the couple, share what you’ve learned (and wish you’d known before!), and what has worked for you in your marriage.

Types of Mentor’s
Before We Do: The premarital stage of a relationship is a great time to impact a couple before becoming stuck in unhealthy patterns. Those who work with engaged couples understand how fun it is to work with their optimism and how challenging it is to work with their idealism. Premarital mentorship is a beautiful opportunity to work proactively in the marriage movement, helping prevent broken families by equipping seriously dating and engaged couples with the knowledge and skills needed for success.
Journeying Beyond: Relationships between a mentor couple and newlyweds often take on its own style and personality. The number of time couples spends together and the content they discuss can rarely be prescribed. Something beautiful happens when a more mature couple reaches out to a new couple. Engaging with the newlyweds has benefits for you as the mentor couple as well. It has been found that through interacting with newlywed couples, mentor couples, feel a reawakening and fulfilling of their marriage.
Restoration Mentoring for Troubled Couples: All relationships go through various seasons, some great and some devastating. Restoration Mentoring is for couples who are on the brink of destruction or have given up entirely. For couples desiring to mentor in this area, we encourage that you have a good, but not necessarily perfect, marriage, and ideally, have had some difficulty or difficulties over the years you were able to overcome. Your ability to restore your marriage from the brink of destruction provides you both with good practical help for another couple, and will also give them the hope of success that all couples in crisis need
