What is a mentor couple?
Couples who believe that they have a strong marriage and wish to serve as a type of relational safety net for other couples. Mentor couples will support other couples who are at a crossroads in their relationship, or, are simply wishing to strengthen and enrich their marriage. Mentor couples are not therapists or counselors and they are trained and supervised. Mentor couples learn practical communication skills, and express thoughts and feelings openly and respectfully through facilitating, not lecturing, and through solutions to their problems that have worked for them. Mentor couples have had experience in the area that they mentor and they are open to sharing their own joys and struggles.
