RED CARPET ROMANCE CELEBRATION WEEKEND
                  September 17 – 19, 2010
      MENTORING TRAINING PROGRAM

Purpose
Become trained to work with other couples who are engaged, newly married and  in all stages of marriage—equipping them with  the skills for a successful relationship

Needs
Studies show that couples equipped with relational skills, such as effective communication and conflict resolution, are more committed to their relationship and less likely to divorce.  Continuing to develop these skills throughout a relationship increases the marriage success rate from the current 50% to 90%.

Benefits
♥ Provides a support ministry to couples by developing healthy relational skills and in building spiritual, emotional and
      physical intimacy in their marriage
♥ Provides ongoing training to select couples serving as marriage mentors
♥ Learn to structure regular group meetings for couples that focus on support, growth, enrichment and fellowship

Better Marriages Mentoring Program is a collaboration of Better Marriages and Life Innovations, Inc.  This training is for couples who have been married a minimum of 5 years.

Process
The mentor-trained couple meets with the selected couple and assesses their relationship by using tools learned through Better Marriages mentoring training. They can then provide the couple with a system for better communication, a structure to process conflict in constructive ways, and skills to formulate joint goals and dreams.

Quotes from couples that have been mentored and mentor couples

"We enjoyed the mentoring program because it allowed us the opportunity to meet with a more mature couple and find answers to some of our pre-marital questions.  It also sparked questions that we never considered to think about and we were able to seek and find answers to them before marriage.  The mentoring program is a great opportunity for couples to grow close and more intimate before the I do’s!"
Brandon and Toya Webb Dayton, OH

"To say that the mentoring Shawn and I received was 'invaluable' hardly seems adequate.  We appreciated the pre-marriage mentoring so much that we determined it was a ministry in which we felt a need to participate.  We now mentor couples to be married and we grow from it as we help others to have the 'tools' of a great marriage at their disposal.  What a blessing!"
Deb and Shawn Miller Clayton,OH

"Kim and Keith Huffman are excellent "Marriage Building Mentors".  They do an outstanding job teaching the marriage skills that are so badly needed today.  We were blessed to have them as our own personal mentors, and they were a great help to us. In our opinion, they model the "1 Corinthian 13" chapter on "Love". 
 Pam and Mike Sommer Minster, OH
