The amount of time we spend preparing for careers and maintaining our skills in careers is understood to be critical to ones success. The same logic applies to relationships and specifically marriage. However many people today take little or no time to prepare for what will be the most important relationship in their life. Divorce rates attest to this sad reality. Statistics reveal that over 80% of couple who do divorce regrets their decision not that long afterwards. Skills and perspective are required. Those couples who take the time and energy to prepare before and commit to keep learning after the wedding day, understandably have much better success and happiness. Interestingly enough statistics reveal that divorce rates fall from 40-50% to 5% for those couples who do two things; first they chose to participate in a mentor-based pre-marital process and secondly, they get involved in a healthy authentic faith community where life long learning is valued and experienced.
Over the years at UChurch we have been developing and maturing in our understanding of what aspects really contribute to helping couples develop healthy perspective, a teachable heart and the appropriate skills to have healthy maturing relationships. Below are a few steps/tools we have been using for those interested in pre-marital mentorship in the UChurch community. Email us if you need to know more !
