Christian Marriage Counseling To Keep Your Marriage Strong

By Sayi Withma


Try to see how beautiful marriage was meant to be. From the first union, God actually said these two shall become one flesh. No more separate and alone, but a united bond that should be unbreakable. Try now to see how there would be a bitter opposition to anything that God finds pleasure in, and recognize that when your lovely marriage is being violated. Take notice and get some Christian marriage counseling to protect yourselves.

If anything comes into your relationship to take away your loving commitment for each other, then treat it as an enemy force and rid your marriage of it without delay. Even thoughts that creep in to separate you from your spouse should be taken captive and interrogated the bible says, and that imagination should be cast down, defeat it, eradicate it before it grows into something more destructive. If you don't, then you are giving place to an enemy of your marriage. You should consider these things as a violation of what belongs to you. Our marriages should be as important to us as it is to God, and we should be on the look out for anything that will hurt it.

There are ways to combat any problem and we must see the importance of strengthening and protecting our marriages. If you deal with things as soon as they are recognized you will avoid marriage breakdown. Get some counsel, especially if things have escalated to a bad degree, Christian counselors are eager to see your situation reconcile.

Sometimes we just need to have our thoughts redirected to get our perspective back onto meaningful, important things. This life is full of distractions to take us away from our original love for each other. Counseling provides relationship building techniques to help you work out your problems together. You will learn Biblical ways to manage how you interact with one another and how to stand on the promises of God to defeat the source of the division in your marriage alliance.

Many problems stem from a lack of communication skills, or neglecting intimacy and closeness. Perhaps there is a lot of anger. Or maybe it is deeper and equally as scarring, such as not understanding how to relate with each other emotionally physically or intellectually. Maybe there is a problem with adultery, deceit, pornography, emotionally crippling wounds and or a mental issue. If you don't deal with these issues they will inevitably erode your marriage and love for each other.

No matter how small or large your problem may seem, consider yourself a wise person when you decide to get some counseling to destroy anything that comes in to hurt that which is supposed to be precious to you. Further, if you are divided between your spouse, you will not feel the closeness to God as you maybe once did. This is because God is waiting for you to do the right thing and reconcile, when we hurt each other we are hurting Him also.

As soon as you take a step toward getting some counsel you will feel the weight lift. It is important to admit that we need God to provide intervention, and the truth is, he has the answer and he is just waiting for you to turn to him. It is his delight to take make beauty from ashes. He is able to bring you true joy where there was mourning and heaviness.

When two people agree in prayer as touching anything, Jesus said, "I will do it." Since marriage is so important to God, it should be important to us. When we begin to turn to the Lord for His counsel and wisdom, through Christian marriage counseling, then hope will come to the situation and if you follow that wisdom, then expect to see a miracle in your marriage.
