We Equip You to Help Struggling Couples
We Want to Help You Mentor Couples
Connected Marriage was started by marriage mentors. We used to be in your shoes. We wanted to help couples, but we weren’t even sure how.
Honestly, we weren’t even sure we could help. But, we’ve now impacted hundreds of couples and we want to share our experience with you.
Over ten years and after thousands of hours of research, we developed this material. But, we also wanted it to be Biblically based and psychologically sound. We recruited a team of pastors and mental health professionals to give their input. Their experience is also contained in this material.
This is the tool that we wished we had all along.

Who Would Make a Good Marriage Mentor?
Marriage Mentor Qualifications
Who should be trusted to be a marriage mentor and educator? We suggest you ask yourself 3 questions:
- Are you leader material?
- Are you committed to your marriage?
- Are you working on improving your marriage?
A marriage mentor is in a leadership position inside of the church. Are you committed to Christ and growing in your faith? Are you able to pray with and for others? Would you be trusted in a leadership position? Would your pastor feel good about you teaching a class or leading a small group?
We look for mentors that are committed to their marriage and working to improve. This may seem like a low bar. We have found that some of the best mentors are couples that were struggling in their marriage and are now working on healing. Many of these couples have been close to divorce. Helping another couple actually helps the mentor couple to heal. The wisdom gained by working through tough issues can be helpful for the hurting couple.
Marriage Mentor Values
Your biggest challenges in your marriage can become your biggest opportunities in helping others to heal. This is why we love to have mentors that have struggled through issues like affairs, addictions, disconnection and poor communication – basically, any issue that another couple can relate to.
