Studies show that both premarital counseling and ongoing enrichment opportunities can assist couples in reducing the risk of divorce, while also ensuring healthy and more successful relationships.

Marriage Mentoring, or 12 Conversations, is a marriage-enrichment class for couples in which a seasoned couple mentors a younger couple through conversations and time spent together in a fun, non-classroom atmosphere. Whether working with a couple of newlyweds or a couple that’s entering a new stage of marriage, the 12 Conversations program is a simple, encouraging way to strengthen marriages. Sharing stories over snacks, dessert or dinner encourages a friendship between the couples that will last beyond the guided conversations.
