Marriage Enrichment

Marriage Mentoring

Marriage is a gift from God, but it was never meant to be lived out alone. At Summit, our Marriage Mentoring Ministry exists to come alongside couples who desire growth, healing, encouragement, and a deeper foundation built on God's design.

Marriage mentoring pairs you with a trusted couple from Summit who will  listen, pray, and walk alongside you with humility and wisdom. These mentors are not perfect—they are faithful couples who have learned, through both joy and hardship, how to rely on God’s grace in marriage. 

Through guided conversations and a biblically grounded workbook, couples explore key areas such as communication, conflict, intimacy, and spiritual unity. The process is relational, practical, and centered on God’s Word, helping couples better understand one another while growing together in Christ.

Whether your marriage feels strong or strained, we invite you to prayerfully consider if Marriage Mentoring could benefit you.

Meet The Leaders: 

Brian and Judy grew up living about a half mile from each other in Gorham, Maine but didn’t really know each other until Brian asked Judy out in the summer of 1972. They were married in 1974. They received no premarital instruction or counseling prior to their wedding.

They raised three daughters and for over three decades they struggled in their marriage. They failed at understanding God’s purpose for marriage and subsequently failed to follow His plan for marriage as He designed it.

The ashes of their broken marriage culminated in a separation in 2010 that lasted intermittently for nearly five years. God used this time in their lives to radically change their perspectives in their individual relationships with Him and towards their marriage. They say that God used the experience to  give them both a passion to understand His purpose and plan for marriage and a vision to share with others what they have learned from their mistakes.

In His time, God reconciled and restored their marriage to what He had always intended it to be.

When I have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now.
