WHAT DO MARRIAGE DISCIPLES DO?
Marriage Disciples are trained volunteer couples who accompany married couples who are struggling into a deeper understanding and living of the fullness God intended for marriage. This mentoring model was developed by Greg and Julie Alexander, who have themselves mentored over 6,000 couples. The Marriage Disciples process focuses on what the Alexanders call the six “Essential Elements for a Strong Marriage.” Marriage Disciples share their own stories and experiences, along with the teachings of the Church on marriage, in order to impart to mentoree couples, the practical tools needed to better understand and live out the sacrament of marriage. Marriage Discipling is not professional counseling nor is it a comprehensive approach to issues or problems facing various married couples, including psychological or mental health struggles, anger issues, addictions, family of origin wounds, etc. Some couples may need additional professional help beyond the scope of this mentoring ministry.
