Some people doubt they have anything useful to offer another couple to help them grow a healthy marriage. They question whether they can be successful mentors. Couples often find that by becoming a mentor couple, their own marriage is blessed as well by what they give to others. As you consider whether you have what it takes to be an effective mentor, ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you enjoy your marriage?
• Do you look forward to meeting and being with other couples?
• Are you committed to your marriage and do you believe in its rewards?
• Are there things you have learned from other couples about marriage?
• Are there things you have learned from your spouse over the course of your marriage?
• Have you and your spouse successfully weathered some marital challenges?
