Marriage Mentors:

Strengthening relationships for a better future

Many marriages today are struggling and are in desperate need of guidance and encouragement. Unfortunately, today our lives have become so busy that at the end of the day our relationships and communication with each other suffer and the quality time spent together is slowly disappearing.  

No matter what stage of life you are in, whether you are a couple planning your wedding day, already enjoying a strong marriage or if your marriage is struggling, there is a marriage mentor couple who believes in and values God's gift of marriage and is available to work with you.

A marriage mentor is a couple whose passion and belief is to assist other couples to have a strong lasting marriage. Through their own experience and professional training these couples understand that a healthy marriage takes continuous communication and commitment toward each other. They are dedicated and trained to help couples strengthen their relationships one step at a time.

All the mentor couples here at Northside Family Ministries are volunteers. They experience the same everyday struggles as other couples do, for example finances, communication, raising families, busy life styles and so on. They have made a commitment to God and each other to work through these issues together and build a healthy marriage. We believe strong healthy marriages can make a difference in tomorrow's future.

1. All couples individually complete the Prepare/Enrich assessment online. This assessment will show the strength and growth areas of your relationship and is a great starting point for you and your mentors.

2. A marriage mentor couple will call to set up a time to get acquainted.

3. Couples will meet as needed for a period of 6 to 8 sessions for premarital or up to 13 weeks for couples that are already married.

4. A year later couples will complete the Prepare/Enrich assessment for a second time, this shows how your relationship is growing after you have had time to apply some of the skills you have learned.
