My husband Peter and I recently completed the mentoring program through Great Marriages, and we want to share our story with you!

Peter and I met at a New Years Eve party, and it turned out to be one of those ordinary moments that turned into a life-changing moment. We spent the night talking, laughing, and just completely clicking. Three years later, Peter proposed and we were so excited to officially start our lives together!

When we began planning our wedding, our church asked us to go through the Great Marriages mentoring program. With Peter working third shift, we weren’t sure how we’d make the twelve weekly sessions work, but our mentors were able to work with our schedules and we are so grateful we signed up. Our mentors, Steve and Judy, made us feel welcome from the first meeting. They were warm, honest, funny, relatable, and full of wisdom. This was exactly what we needed! They helped us talk about things we wouldn't have thought to discuss and showed us that marriage is more than a commitment, but a daily act of love, growth, and faith. They encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones and have conversations we’d never even thought to have before.

It was a lot of work having to prioritize our time to do our homework, the exercises, and balancing our schedules, but we are so grateful we stuck with it. Great Marriages helped us build a strong foundation for our future together and, even better, it gave us lifelong friends in Steve and Judy. We knew we were not walking into marriage alone! We truly can’t recommend this program enough, it was one of the best things we’ve ever done for our relationship.

By supporting Great Marriages, you’re helping couples like us start married life with hope, wisdom, and a solid foundation!

With gratitude,

Megan & Peter

P.S. We got married on October 25, 2025!
