Christian Marriage Mentoring

Beautiful Womanhood is a Christian marriage mentoring program for wives designed to:

  • Raise up new lay leaders --women who mentor the next generation of wives (Titus 2:3-5)
  • Strengthen marriage
  • Build community among married women of all ages
  • Evangelize through changed lives and marriages
  • Reduce the need for personal ministry in your church.

Beautiful Womanhood small groups are led by a marriage mentor, and they utilize the curriculum contained in Beautiful Womanhood: A Biblical, Practical Guide for Wives available March 20, 2009 from Creekside Publishing.  An expanded Mentor Edition designed for marriage mentors is also available.

Church Leaders:

  • Support women in their marriages
  • Utilize an established, effective program which raises up mentors

 "Because of all the interaction occurring in the Beautiful Womanhood Program, the women are helping each other and calling the church less for personal ministry."
 --Dorie Meendering, Women's Ministry Director Resurrection Life Church Christian Marriage Mentoring

Mentors:

  • Encourage other women by sharing from their personal experience--both struggles and success
  • Grow in ministry skills
  • Learn how to lead a small group
  • Are blessed by a group of younger women

"I just wanted to tell you (so many times) how much I love the Beautiful Womanhood Program and how blessed and excited I am to be a part of it.  The younger women are just wonderful.  So many dynamics take place each time we meet or see each other.  They are all good friends too, and compare 'notes' all the time.  The love you said would develop is much deeper than I expected.  The other night when we met, one of the girls stated, 'I love my husband!'  She clarified that she has always loved her husband, but with a huge smile, reflective expression on her face and a satisfied tone in her voice, she again said, 'I love my husband!'  This was especially rewarding as my co-mentor and I have had heavy hearts for this marriage and have been praying extra.  Of course, we are so blessed to see and hear the changes in all of their marriages."

--Cheryl Mote  Eureka, Montana

 MentoredChristian Small Group for Wives

  • Develop meaningful, godly relationships
  • Challenged with penetrating questions getting to the heart of issues
  • Experience support and encouragement as their mentor reveals stories from her own experience

"Through Beautiful Womanhood, I have been challenged but not condemned, realized my mistakes, seen areas of my life that needed improvement, and been given hope and practical steps to make changes.  The word "beautiful" isn't a normal part of my vocabulary used to describe myself.  Now, I don't laugh or choke when I hear it applied to me."

--Dorie Barron, Wyoming, MI
