7 Benefits of Mentorship with Another Couple

Whether you’re a newlywed or have been married for decades, there is always room for growth in your marriage. One way to achieve growth is to meet with another married couple regularly.

Romans 12:4-5 says, “For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.” In other words, we need each other.

Engaging in mentorship with another married couple can be highly beneficial as you each bring your unique needs and gifts to the table. Join me in exploring seven benefits of marriage mentorship.

1. Mentorship Can Breed Humility

Let’s be honest – saying another couple is mentoring you can feel awkward. Will people assume your marriage is in trouble? Will people think you’re not wise enough to navigate marriage on your own?

Proverbs 11:2 tells us that “when pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.” Amazing things happen when you allow yourself to let go of the fear of man and man’s judgment.

Humbling yourself to not only admit another couple is mentoring you but also to talk openly about the benefits will help normalize mentorship and hopefully encourage other couples to follow suit.

2. Mentors Offer Guidance

Being mentored by another married couple isn’t always about resolving conflict. In fact, it’s more about walking through life together and accepting support, love, and encouragement.

Proverbs 11:14 says, “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” Mentors can help you dream, make and achieve goals, and be a trusted listening ear.
