The Marriage & Family Institute of Tulsa - 9222 South Harvard, Tulsa OK

No one needs to tell you that Divorce is ravaging our nation. There are simply not enough counselors to take care of the catastrophic breakdown of the families all around us. It's time for congregations to get proactive. By the time most marriages make it to the pastor for help, they are too far gone to be salvaged. Congregations need to go on the offence by helping nurture relationships. One key component in this is "mentoring." "Mentoring" is not exactly the same as "counseling." To become a professional "counselor" one must have many years of training. But in all of our congregations, there are those married couples who have weather the storms of life and now can provide valuable help to young couples just starting the journey of Marriage. If you would like to learn more about getting the training needed for select couples in your congregation to learn how to mentor....you've come to the right site.

As an MFIT Marriage Mentor you would be trained to work with married couples. You work does not involve therapy or counseling. It basically involves building a relationship with a couple (usually younger than yourselves) with whom you would provide the tools to build great relationships. GREAT relationships take specialized skills. On of the reasons for the skyrocketing divorce rate is the lack of preparation most people receive for marriage. Marriage DOES NOT come naturally. It is true that the two shall become one...but the big question after that is "which one?" As a Marriage Mentor you will learn how to teach communication skills that, if used properly, can guarantee to turn any good marriage into a great marrage. Communication is the key and the Marriage and Family Institute focuses on not just "teaching" but "training" to use the tools that make healthy marriages even healthier.
