We hope many marriages are strengthened by your efforts in providing the &lt;em&gt;Marriage Mentoring:  Twelve Conversations&lt;/em&gt; program. 

* Would you like to make a difference in a young couple&#8217;s marriage? 
* Would you like to help them get off to a great start for a life-long successful marriage? 
* Can you identify the strengths of your own marriage? 
* Have you learned things along the way in your marriage? 
* Can you share encouraging stories about what you have learned? 

You may have just found your calling to be a marriage mentor to younger couples. Read on...

We need to help couples grow great marriages from the start. Mentoring is a fun way to share what is ahead in marriage. Whether a couple is newlywed or entering a new stage of marriage, the 12 Conversations program is a simple, encouraging way to strengthen marriages. Sharing stories over snacks, dessert or dinner encourages a friendship between the couples that will last beyond the guided conversations. 

Come learn more about this user-friendly model for churches and agencies. *Marriage Mentoring:  Twelve Conversations* fosters the growth of couples, not the &quot;repair or counseling&quot; of couples. It is intended to be a nurturance model for marital health and the prevention of &quot;troubled marriages.&quot;

Here are two sample conversations ([1][sample1] and [2][sample2]) to see how the conversations flow.
