Joslynn,
I think your idea of a relationship mentor is great. I do mentoring for young girls at my church and I love talking to them about marriage and relationships. My first husband died and I have only been married again for a few years so I don't feel to far removed from the dating world and its difficulties. If you attend a church it would be worth checking with the staff there to find out if someone you admire would be willing to be a mentor. If you don't attend a church just look around to other women in your life who you think have good marriages and ask one of them. Most people I talk with would be willing to do this but don't even know where to go to find this type relationship. When I was young I always wanted and "older woman" in my life...finally one day when I was coloring my hair I realized I needed to be the older women in someone elses life:)...other than just my daughters. My daughter is 24 now and she has a high school girl she mentors. We all need that!!!
You are very WISE :)!
