Marriage Mentoring
Our Marriage mentoring program is just getting started. We have 13 pairs of couples who have committed to meeting monthly over the next year to work on building healthy marriages.
Too often we are unable to discuss our marriages in a way that is helpful. What barriers do we have up that prevent us from being a community that partners together to ensure faithful marriage.
I think one thing that we forget to do is remember our vows. I had our vows framed so that I can read them every time I walk by. I also try to be very intentional that when I go to a wedding I remind the brade and groom that I have witnessed their commitment and know that responsiblity comes to me as a witness to hold that couple accountable to their promises.
I guess the bottom line is that I dont want to forget that a marriage isnt just a partnership, but a sacred rite, a divinely sanctioned commitment to a person before God and the church.

Amanda: Could you explain more what you mean about the emphasis for older singles? Do you mean a specific issue that pertains to older singles, or just offer a general program specifically to older singles.
What are you involved with at Central?
