Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between mediation and counseling?

XO Marriage Mediation focuses on beliefs and how our thought life plays a major role in restoration or disfunction in our relationships. The battle is in the mind and the good news is, it is the one thing that we can control.

Counseling is more process oriented and usually dives deeper into mental and/or emotional disorders, abuse, addictions etc. We leave these processes to the professionals and focus more on teaching couples how to do marriage God’s way so they can experience long lasting restoration.

What is the faith based model for XO Marriage Mediation?

When couples are at an impasse and experiencing marital struggles, they need someone to stand in the gap to provide discernment, wise counsel, and a plan for restoration. Mediators are the hands and feet for Jesus, the Great Mediator. They are committed to pointing the hearts of couples back to God. After you complete the training you will be certified as a Marriage Mediator and can walk a couple through the following:

  • A full day hands on experience with real-time breakthroughs for couples who are willing to surrender to doing marriage God’s way.
  • Techniques for helping couples understand more fully how they get out of alignment of God’s best plan for their marriage and how to master their differences for long term transformation.
  • Tools for renewing the battle in the mind and learning how to approach conflict with the mind of Christ.
