MARRIAGE MENTORING
MOST MARRIAGES DON’T NEED AN OVERHAUL, JUST REGULAR TUNE-UPS
You are not alone in your experiences. You’ll be paired with another couple who wants to listen and invest in your lives. Over the course of a year, they’ll guide you through 14 conversations crucial for a healthy marriage. This isn’t crisis counselling, it’s an opportunity to share your story and learn from the life experience of another couple.
You will meet with your mentor couple for approximately 90 minutes a month. They will guide you through one of the conversations in your conversation guide and listen to you, encourage you and help you to determine some next steps to grow closer together.

Boundaries

Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Do you ask questions like:Can I set limits and still be a loving person? What are legitimate boundaries?
