PROGRAMME SYNOPSIS
Marriage is the beginning – the beginning of a nuclear family – and is a life-long commitment.
Research has shown that building a solid foundation, especially during the first five years of marriage* will help prepare couples for this lifelong journey.
One of the most significant ways to build stronger marriages is for experience couples to mentor and walk alongside younger couples. As marriage mentors, you have a unique opportunity to support and journey alongside these couples’ love and commitment towards each other.
If you and your spouse are passionate about marriage and are willing to journey with and encourage couples to thrive in their marriage, the Marriage Legacy programme is for you!
This programme will provide you practical insight to enjoy mentoring couples naturally and effectively.
- Discover how to be a marriage mentor to walk alongside, encourage, and guide other younger couples through their marriage journey.
- Use proven tools and resources to assess and strengthen the marital relationship.
- Learn how to listen effectively in order to provide appropriate counsel and advice.
- Enhance your own marriage as you and your spouse share your own experience as you mentor other couples together.
