MARRIAGE HELP FOR TWO WHO ARE ONE

Most marriages start out with two people who are certain they can craft a wonderful union, because for all our differences, men and women want the same thing: satisfying, loving relationships. Certainly, it is true that the institution of marriage is under attack from every side; and today, more than ever, Christians need marriage help, as Satan wants failure, and we need to be increasingly aware of the subtle ways he tries to destroy our marriages and home lives.

From the beginning, marriage has been part of God's plan for His creation, and Satan is vehemently against this sacred tradition. If we need evidence that we need marriage help, take a look at the divorce rate both in Christian and non-Christian environments.

The need for marital counseling cannot be emphasized enough, even for Christians, because we live in a world that often encourages the destruction of marriage.

The real threat comes from the multitudes of couples that fail to honour their marriage vows. Other serious problems that could develop can be lying, adultery and pornography, and when these problems are not dealt with, they represent a threat to the marriage. Also at the root of many of these problems is pride; we believe we can solve our own problems, which can be distressing when one spouse recognizes the need for marriage help and the other refuses.

How can you experience a lifetime of love and fulfillment in your marriage? Whether you've been married for a year or thirty years, at FamilyLife, we help churches take proactive steps to prevent marriages from reaching a state of crisis, and to revive those already in distress by showing you how God can transform your marriages to be what He intended it to be. If you need marriage help, we can help with seminars and workshops which offer hope in dealing with disappointment and bring you into deeper communion with God and with each other.
