Frequently asked questions
Strengthen your marriage today!
What is Christian marriage mentoring?
Christian marriage mentoring is intentional guidance designed to help couples build, strengthen, and enjoy their marriage together. At Marriage Foundation, we combine biblical principles, attachment-informed strategies, and practical relationship tools to help couples understand one another, communicate more effectively, navigate conflict, deepen connection, and grow together.
Our approach is not simply about fixing problems. We believe marriage should be fun—and building a strong marriage is something you GET to do together. Whether you're preparing for marriage, strengthening a good marriage, or building something new after a difficult season, we're here to walk alongside you.
Is this counseling or therapy?
No. Marriage Foundation is a Christian marriage mentorship and guidance program, not licensed therapy or counseling. We use biblical principles, attachment-informed strategies, and practical relationship tools to help couples intentionally build stronger, healthier marriages.
Our goal isn't simply to focus on what's wrong. We help couples understand one another, develop practical skills, strengthen their connection, and build something new together when needed.
We are certified through Connected Marriage, and Lindsey holds a bachelor's degree in Counseling and Communications.
How is marriage mentoring different from marriage counseling?
Marriage counseling is a professional mental-health service provided by a licensed counselor or therapist. Marriage Foundation provides Christian marriage mentoring and relationship education, not licensed counseling or psychotherapy.
Rather than diagnosing or treating mental-health conditions, we focus on biblical principles, practical relationship skills, communication, connection, conflict resolution, intimacy, and intentional marriage-building.
Our goal isn't to simply sit and talk about what's wrong. We want to help you understand each other, learn practical skills, practice those skills together, and build a healthier marriage. When a situation requires professional counseling or other specialized care, we have referral partners, and encourage couples to seek an appropriate licensed professional.
Do you work with couples who aren't struggling?
Absolutely. You don't have to be in crisis to work on your marriage.
In fact, we believe some of the best time to build your marriage is before there is a major problem. Marriage mentoring can help couples strengthen communication, understand each other's needs, build connection, navigate differences, protect intimacy, and develop healthy habits before problems become bigger.
You don't have to wait until something is broken to invest in your marriage. You GET to build it together.
Do you offer premarital counseling?
We provide Christian premarital marriage mentoring and relationship education for engaged couples and those preparing for marriage.
If you're searching for Christian premarital counseling, our approach offers a mentoring-based alternative focused on helping you build a strong foundation before you say, "I do." We'll explore topics such as communication, expectations, conflict, family backgrounds, finances and other important areas, intimacy, faith, and what it means to build a Christ-centered marriage together.
Our goal isn't just to help you prepare for a wedding. It's to help you prepare for a marriage.
Can you help couples rebuild their marriage?
Yes. Building your marriage isn't only for couples who are starting from scratch.
Sometimes the marriage you have isn't the marriage you want to keep having. You may have experienced years of disconnection, repeated conflict, broken trust, or simply realized that the way you've been doing marriage isn't working.
We can help you begin learning a new way of being married—with healthier communication, stronger connection, greater understanding, intentional forgiveness, and practical tools for moving forward.
We won't pretend difficult seasons don't matter. But we also don't believe your entire marriage has to be defined by what has happened in the past. Let's build something new together—something stronger, healthier, and more connected.
Do you work with couples dealing with infidelity?
Yes. We can provide Christian marriage mentoring and guidance for couples navigating the impact of infidelity, including helping couples understand what has happened, communicate honestly, work through difficult emotions, establish healthy boundaries, and begin the process of rebuilding trust.
Infidelity can create deep wounds in a marriage, and we recognize that rebuilding trust takes time, honesty, humility, and consistent action. Our role is to provide biblical and practical guidance as couples work through the process.
Because we are not licensed therapists, there are situations where professional counseling may be appropriate or necessary. We will encourage couples to seek licensed professional support when the needs of the situation go beyond the scope of marriage mentoring.
How much does it cost?
Individual mentorship is $50 per session, or couples can commit to our 12-session Marriage Journey for $550 paid in full. An optional Connected Marriage Assessment is $75.
If finances are a genuine barrier, please reach out. While we do not currently have a scholarship fund, we may be able to work with you based on our ministry's capacity.
Is the program biblically based?
Yes. All guidance, exercises, and teaching are rooted in Scripture, while also incorporating attachment-informed strategies to help couples grow in healthy, lasting ways.
