Marriage Mentoring: 12 Conversations is a ministry where experienced married couples are paired with engaged couples, newlywed couples and other couples who may be going through a specific transition in life such as their first child.

The Value of Marriage Mentoring

When you learn to drive a car, you get an instructor. You get a permit and your first experiences driving are with an experienced driver.

When you plan a vacation, you get a travel agent to help you know what is available. You may get a map drawn by someone who knows the route, or book the reservations for professionals to get you there.

When you pursue a career, you get training from experts. You earn a degree and have teachers to educate you.

When you want to improve your golf game you get a pro to help you. . . and you practice.

When you design a house you employ an architect. When you build the house you hire a contractor to get it done.

When you get married, you get a minister to perform the ceremony. . .but who helps you build the marriage?

Marriage mentors can help you do that! Practical wisdom from mentors can help you learn to do the first-year tasks of marriage right the first time. It can also help with other transitions.

Which would you rather do -- keep making the first-year mistakes of marriage for ten years OR learn the first-year skills of marriage in year one and move forward with growing a successful marriage? Building a solid foundation for your marriage is crucial for developing a happy marriage.

Falling in love seems so easy. Building a solid marriage that will last a lifetime is a more involved task. Why not seek out a mentor couple to share their love and experiences with you? They have helpful stories to share from lessons they have learned.

They have roadmaps of experiences to help you with to find your way in dealing with communication, couple friendship & dating, finances, in-laws, solutions to problems, recreation, intimacy, and healthy marriage habits.

If you would like to meet with a mentoring couple please contact Keith Fussell in the church office (372-1874 or kfussell@sycamoreview.org) You may also see www.12Conversations.com for more information.
