"A Good Marriage Doesn't Just Happen": The Case for Mentoring

from The Living Marriages Podcast | Effective Communication, Intimacy, Healthy Habits, Christian Counseling, Christian Parenting · host Aaron Au, April Au | Marriage Coaching and Mentoring

Research has shown that it can take couples between 2 and 6 years to finally reach out for help from the time they realize they're having trouble in their marriage. We've got one question: why wait so long? On today's episode we discuss: the benefits of marriage mentoring and why getting ahead of the problem is healthy the shame and pressure couples feel when they are having issues that may prevent them from seeking help why God never meant for us to do our marriages alone Interested in being mentored or becoming a mentor? The best place is to find someone in your community of faith. FamilyLife, who we work with, provides training for churches to start their own marriage mentoring ministries.
