Great Marriages Mentoring Program
The greatest untapped resource to save marriages is couples with solid marriages willing to invest in other couples by sharing their testimony and example.
We invite couples who are passionate about marriage to use their gifts, abilities, and life experience to come
Most mentor couples do not recognize their potential to serve as mentors, but are identified by others as having a loving, committed marriage.
Curriculums
A mentor couple serves as a resource for couples who seek guidance and direction to address particular problems in their relationship. Mentors are trained with Prepare/Enrich materials on various skills like communication, conflict resolution, asking for forgiveness, etc. They also have access to our RelateWell curriculum and other resources for any given issue a couple may be facing.
The mentoring sessions are designed to teach and allow practice in basic skills which enable couples to openly communicate, and enrich, nurture, and build a life-long relationship.
Mentor Requirements
A mentor couple does not have to have a perfect marriage, but should be a couple who is willing to share their experience and dedication to a lifelong commitment with others. We ask that couples be married 15+ years and be willing to invest time and energy in helping other couples. Great Marriages trains all mentors and provides the space and resources to help others. Preferably, mentor couples should be faith-based as we offer both faith-based and non faith-based mentoring.
Process to become a Great Marriages mentor:
- Each potential mentor couple must complete the Prepare and Enrich online assessment.
- Potential mentor couple meets with lead mentor couple for interview.
- Attend one-day training class
- Attend quarterly Mentor Appreciation events/"continuing ed"
