Strengthening Marriages: The Role of Church Mentoring Programs
One of the best institutions to help enrich and strengthen marriages is the local church. However, very few churches actually have ongoing and sustainable marriage ministries. Churches with active marriage mentoring ministries, are finding over time that their marriages are getting healthy and stronger.
Can the local church play a crucial role in saving marriages? Dr. Rick Marks and Angelia Savage think so, and they dive into this topic in their episode of 'RelateWell'. They discuss how many churches lack sustainable marriage mentoring programs and why this needs to change. Drawing from Dr. Rick's own experiences of overcoming a troubled childhood, they emphasize the importance of ongoing support and mentorship for couples.
Churches that have implemented active marriage mentoring ministries are seeing healthier and stronger marriages over time. Dr. Rick and Angelia highlight the benefits of educational, skills-based models over mere information-based curriculums, offering practical advice and tools for couples. Through RelateWell, they provide intensive marriage programs designed to help couples navigate emotional triggers and build resilient relationships.
This episode is packed with actionable insights for anyone looking to enrich their marriage and underscores the vital role churches can play in fostering these connections.
