Couple Mentor Journey (CMJ)
BreakThrough (New Programme!)
Overcoming relationship gridlock
All couples go through periods where their relationship is strained. Stress, sleep-deprivation, demands from family and work can starve your marriage of the positive energy it needs and deserves. Soon, you find yourselves arguing more often, making up with less enthusiasm and becoming someone even you yourself don’t like.
If this sounds like you, or someone you love, it’s time to Break Through!
Identify your conflict triggers
Learn strategies to de-escalate an argument
Understand what the real issues are
Find constructive ways to re-establish connection
The Programme
BreakThrough is a practical, solution-focussed workshop for all stages of marriage.
Drawing on contemporary research and Catholic theology, this 3 session online programme will arm you with skills and insights to transform your relationship into the thriving, joy-filled encounter that it is meant to be.
This course is for individual spouses. Please register separately if both spouses would like to do the course.

The Couple Mentor Journey Programme
What does it take to “love” and “honour” someone “in good times and in bad … all the days” of your life?
The Couple Mentor Journey (CMJ) is an initiative designed to help couples who are discerning marriage, preparing foro marriage or who are already married, dedicate time toward preparing for the real challenges of marriage, by learning from the lived experiences of their couple mentors.
CMJ at St Mary’s offers a blended approach:
Learning via online content
Spending time reflecting on key questions and sharing your insights as a couple
Meeting with Couple Mentors (from our parish) at three key milestones during the program
The online programme gives the couple the flexibility to experience the course at their own pace and time, while the chats with the assigned Couple Mentors aim to consolidate what they have learnt, clarify any questions they might have and to hear the lived experiences of their Mentors.
The Journey
Step 1: Review the Online Programme

Step 2: Registration

Step 3: Meet your Mentors at Key Milestones
We will assign you a mentor couple who will journey with you as you progress through the online course.
If you are preparing for marriage, the certificate of completion will be emailed to you once you have completed the final reflection.
Contribution
For both programmes, you will need to pay for the online programme at SmartLoving.org. No further payment is required as all our St Mary’s mentors are volunteers.
