Marriage MentorsThe Key to preparing for strengthening marriages!
Our mentors are couples with good marriages and are growing (no one has a perfect marriage). They have been trained in the use of PREPARE/ENRICH Relationship inventories and couple exercises. They are not "marriage experts" but they do have proven experience and relationship skills to share. They care about you and want to give you a good start. You will enjoy informal times with them . . . and don't be surprised if you become great friends!

Husbands: Love your wives
Husbands are called to love their wives as as Christ Loves the Church... choosing her above himself and laying down his life... Wives: A Wise Woman… Most women are willing to show respect to their husbands, but they want the man to act respectable first. They are willing to show respect, but want their men to be worthy of it. If a woman will learn to risk respecting her man when he is not perfect, he will open his heart to her and will become pliable to change. A man needs respect to feel safe enough to open up. When he feels he is being looked up to as the "head" in a relationship, he will automatically allow his wife to become the neck — she will be able to point her man in the right direction! Women generally have no idea how much sway they have over a man. The ancient Jewish proverb says, "The wise woman builds her house," but "a disgraceful wife is like decay to his bones." A wife is either building up or tearing him down her husband. – Mark Gungor. "Let marriage be held in honor by all." Hebrews 13:4 Becoming One Establishing and maintaining the lifelong "One Flesh" union is God's ideal for you, but in our culture, it's no small task. We want to make every possible resource available to help you enjoy a fulfilling and healthy marriage relationship with all of God's blessings. Please take advantage of the marriage preparation and enrichment ministry available to you. Feel free to contact our pastors or ministry coordinator, Bob Ruthazer at any time: 282-9763 ext 13. Jesus words: "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate."Matthew 19:6 |
