COUPLES COUNSELING – helps to accomplish a restoration
Couples counseling is for couples facing divorce but also for those who simply want to work on their relationships, or these suffering from deep hurts, loss of love, broken trust, and the pain of unresolved issues and conflict. – How do you enjoy married life while juggling outside activities like work and children? Every married couple seeking couples counseling has the potential for change and healing when they are willing to submit to the will of God.
Not only do couples benefit from counseling, the entire family can too. The complexity of modern life contributes to a wide range of problems for families - marital discord, substance abuse, sexual and physical abuse, single parents overwhelmed by economic and emotional problems ... and more.
Couples in distress are in such an extreme power struggle that any suggestion a counselor makes for change triggers resistance. Does one spouse rebel against God, the pastor, the Bible? Then expect that person to rebel against you too. If the person values authority, especially from the scriptures, then this can be greatly used in couples counseling.
Couples who seek counseling usually have ambivalent feelings about their relationship. They value their marriage yet are dissatisfied, and seek changes in it.
Hurt, blame and sin are always present in a troubled marriage, and these must be dealt with in couples counseling which helps couples restore both their relationship with each other and their relationship with God. Confession and forgiveness are the tools needed to help accomplish a restoration.
