Couples contemplating becoming marriage mentors often ask how serving others as a mentor couple would benefit their own relationship. Among many benefits are the following:

• The Equipping Experience will strengthen your own marriage as you discover missing elements in your relationship and hidden areas in need of attention
• Your intimacy with God and each other will be continually strengthened
• The broad, but concise understanding you gain of people and how they connect emotionally allows for deeper and more satisfying rapport with others.
• Once mentors, because mentoring is a reciprocal relationship, as you mentor others growth happens for you individually and as a couple.
• Couples who mentor report great ministry satisfaction. It is a wonderful experience to minister as a couple. Being a part of God's working in others' lives is very rewarding. When mentees' marriages are helped and they express appreciation to and admiration for you it is humbling yet gratifying.
• Once equipped to mentor you will find all your other relationships are enhanced. Marriagizers tell us they use their training continually - whether with family, work colleagues, a neighbor or their hairdresser! You have increased insight and ability to parent - a truly lasting legacy of your ministry!
• Each group of mentors bond deeply in the course of being equipped. You will develop deep lasting friendships with fellow mentors.
