How can my spouse and I be trained to be Marriage Mentors?

​

The training consists of 2 parts:

 

Part 1: Marriage Mentoring Sessions by Bridging Hearts Marriage Mentors 

 

Every couple will have to undergo a process of being mentored by a mentor couple from Bridging Hearts, using the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment tool.

 

The purpose is for the couple to:

  • Understand and deal with the strengths and growth areas in their own marriage

  • Have a personal experience of the marriage mentoring process

  • Gain clarity on mentoring techniques

 

Duration: 9 to 15 hours spread over 3-5 sessions

Cost: USD35/couple for the online PREPARE/ENRICH assessment

​

After these sessions, the participants, together with the feedback from their Marriage Mentors, can then consider if they are ready to be trained to become Marriage Mentors.

Working alongside and supporting Churches: 

​

It is Bridging Hearts' desire and strategy to partner churches - so that churches can raise, train and mobilize their own team of Marriage Mentors to support marriages and strengthen families within their own community. 

 

To Pastoral Leaders:

​

  1. We are here to serve you and the church.

  2. We want to work with you to incubate a culture of marriage mentoring in the church, where marriages disciple marriages.

​

To Potential Marriage Mentors:

​

  1. Let your hindsight be another couple's foresight.

  2. Let your marriage be strengthened as you strengthen others'.
