MARRIAGE MENTORING

MOST MARRIAGES DON’T NEED AN OVERHAUL, JUST REGULAR TUNE-UPS

You are not alone in your experiences. You’ll be paired with another couple who wants to listen and invest in your lives. Over the course of a year, they’ll guide you through 14 conversations crucial for a healthy marriage. This isn’t crisis counselling, it’s an opportunity to share your story and learn from the life experience of another couple.

You will meet with your mentor couple for approximately 90 minutes a month. They will guide you through one of the conversations in your conversation guide and listen to you, encourage you and help you to determine some next steps to grow closer together.

Boundaries

When to Say Yes, How to Say No, to Take Control of Your Life

Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Do you ask questions like:

  • Can I set limits and still be a loving person?

  • What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries?

  • How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money?

  • Aren't boundaries selfish?

  • Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries?

This course offers biblically-based answers to these and other tough questions, showing how to set healthy boundaries with parents, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves.
