About Marriage Mentoring

Under current
trends, young people marrying for the first time
face a 40-50% risk of divorce in their lifetime.
In a fast paced world of short cuts and instant
gratification, Pre-Marriage Mentoring is the step
that makes sense — yet it's the step that
most couples avoid.
Marriage Mentoring can't teach you how to be
married, but it will give you a solid advantage.
Pre-marriage mentoring is our passion — we'd
love to help you experience deeper intimacy.

what is pre-marriage mentoring?
Pre-marriage mentoring is about spending structured time with
a more experienced married couple, tapping into their insights
and experience.
Our approach is relational.
To get the most from our sessions, we'll meet in a safe, comfortable
environment and help you identify expectations and objectives
for our time together. Using the Prepare-Enrich assessment,
we'll identify your strengths and growth areas; you'll be
better prepared with a more realistic outlook, higher confidence
and tools for the future. Jim and Sheri typically meet with
couples for 5-6 sessions, but that number can be extended.
topics we'll cover
- Building awareness of growth and strength areas
- Aligning expectations
- Transitioning from singleness
- Working through in-law conflict
- Identifying tools and resources

- Spiritual Discovery — what do you both believe?
- After you're married, where do you get help? Building
a support system
