THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTORING IN MARRIAGE

By Rev  Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Mentoring in marriage is a vital tool for building strong, godly relationships that reflect Christ’s love and wisdom. In Titus 2:3–5 (AMP), older women are instructed to “teach what is right and good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be self-controlled, chaste, homemakers, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.” This divine instruction emphasizes that mentorship in marriage preserves godly order and prevents the name of the Lord from being blasphemed through broken homes and poor conduct.

   The relationship between Ruth and Naomi is a powerful example of mentoring. Naomi guided Ruth not only in matters of faith but also in relationships and godly conduct. Ruth’s obedience and humility eventually led her into a blessed marriage with Boaz (Ruth 3:1–11). Through Naomi’s mentorship, Ruth learned how to walk wisely and with dignity—qualities that prepared her for divine favor.

    Mentorship in marriage helps couples handle challenges with grace and biblical understanding. Proverbs 11:14 says, “Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Having a mature, Spirit-filled couple or individual to offer guidance can prevent many avoidable mistakes.

    When couples learn from godly mentors and live according to Ephesians 5:21–33, they become living testimonies of Christ’s love for the Church. Mentoring nurtures stability, faith, and purpose—strengthening marriages and bringing glory, not reproach, to the name of the Lord.

In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and humility to learn .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to work in divine wisdom.
