		<description><![CDATA[So what are the critical success factors in marriage mentoring? 1. Be growing and maturing personally in Christ.

		<description><![CDATA[If you are married, can you think of the people who have influenced you and your spouse in marriage, its health and success? I&#8217;m sure you quickly can. Oddly, I&#8217;m not sure that any of us would say it was some &#8220;formal&#8221; class, or a workbook. More than likely, your most powerful mentors, both personally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quite some time ago, I had the opportunity to experience leadership training in quite a fresh way.  I have spent time in the lecture halls, but this was far different.  It was a challenge that stretched me by giving me clear avenues to explore my gifts, shortfalls, strategy, and overall capability in leadership. This opportunity [...]]]></description>
