BE A COUPLE MENTOR
BEING THE
VISIBLE SIGN OF
LOVE FOR OTHERS
Like a baton, faith is passed down from generation to generation. Imagine a Church where experienced couples share the joys and struggles of married life with engaged and newly married couples, inspiring them to stay connected with the sacramental life of the parish.
Each married couple is a visible sign of God’s love for His people.
Whether you are both Catholics or an interfaith couple, consider being a couple mentor;
You will enrich not only the lives of another couple, but your own relationship as well. There are no perfect couples, yet we try our best to live out our vocation as faithful spouses.
Married couples who step up as Couple Mentors receive great benefits themselves. Indeed, carrying out a pastoral commitment together and proclaiming the “Gospel of marriage” to others helps deepen a couple’s spiritual union , and enriches spouses both individually and as a couple.

COUPLE MENTORS
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore hopes to form couple mentors in every parish, who can and will journey with young couples and support them with their own stories and experience. Proper preparation before receiving any Sacrament is crucial. The Couple Mentor Journey (CMJ) is a time for couples to dedicate more time to prepare for marriage and into their early years of marriage through the sharing from the lived experience of their couple mentors. CMJ provides engaged and newlywed couples with:
- A stronger foundation for their marriage with continuous ‘live’ marriage preparation; the opportunity to form relationships with their couple mentor; and
- A connection to the faith life of the parish community.
