The purpose of marriage coaching or mentoring is to lovingly invest in the preparation, maximization, and restoration of lifelong marriages by walking alongside couples who are less experienced than their coaches/mentors. Sometimes couples seek marriage coaching when they hit a bump in the road on their marriage journey. Sometimes couples simply seek a more experienced couple to walk alongside them and hold them accountable.

Every coaching/mentoring relationship takes on its own personality, but here is a representative list of what a marriage mentoring couple does. A marriage mentor couple:

•willingly shares what they know and intercedes in prayer for the couple they are mentoring

•represents skill, knowledge, virtue, and accomplishment because they have gone before the couple they are mentoring

•takes a personal and heartfelt interest in the other couple's development and well-being

•offers support, challenge, patience, and enthusiasm while guiding other couples to new levels of competence

•points the way and represents tangible evidence of what another couple can become

•exposes the recipients of their mentoring to new ideas, perspectives, and standards

•has more expertise in terms of knowledge yet views themselves as equal to those they mentor
