what’s the difference?

Have you committed to pre-marriage mentoring, but are unsure of next steps?

When it comes to mentoring, you have a few choices.

1. Be mentored by your pastor or officiate

2. Engage a counselor/therapist

3. Enroll in a mentoring program with a pre-marriage mentor couple

Start Mentoring

We will provide you with a vision for marriage, conflict resolution, budgeting, spiritual issues, communication, and sex & intimacy. In addition, each of you will complete the PREPARE-ENRICH Inventory from Life Innovations, which will help us better coach you in our time together.As Christians, we place a high value on the principles of the Bible. With this said, we respect your rights to grow in the spiritual path you have chosen for yourself.

The pre-marital education you receive is designed to be fitness training for your relationship. Our role is to facilitate the process while you discuss issues, and develop skills necessary for a healthy, growing marriage. This is not counseling or therapy.

Marriage mentoring is not a guarantee of relationship success. Ultimately, that is the responsibility of the pre-marital couple.
