Marriage Mentoring

We are excited to be involved in the training of about 35-40 couples who over the next few weeks will become marriage mentors. This is good news for many couples in our region. These newly-trained mentors will be serving other married couples in the Houston area. Marriage mentoring is an exciting venture and we believe it is an important wave gaining momentum in our country. Marriage mentors are couples that are excited about helping other couples develop stronger marriages through relational encouragement. Many young couples, in particular, are hungering for help in learning what it takes to have a long-lasting and successful married relationship. With the help of an equipped marriage mentor couple, newlyweds, veteran married couples, and hurting marriages can all get vital support that will help their most important relationships improve significantly.

Marriage mentors don't have perfect relationships--quite the contrary. Instead, these mentor couples are simply committed couples that have learned how to work through some of life's more difficult issues themselves, and then, consequently, they have found a deeper and more satisfying marriage in their own lives. In most cases, these mentors have become part of a friendship-based ministry that has some method of connecting those more experienced couples with younger couples. Through an informal and comfortable approach, and with the assistance of leadership, these connectional relationships do a whole lot of good toward improving the quality of many marriages.


If you are a couple that lives in the Greater Houston area, and would like to connect and benefit from a relationship with a mentor couple or if you are interested in learning more about becoming a marriage mentor couple yourselves, please contact us at thehursts@homeencouragement.org. There are many exciting opportunities for marriage mentoring opening up in the Houston area. For more general information about marriage mentoring, the website of Real Relationships is one of several good starting points.
