Christian Marriage Counseling To Keep Your Marriage Strong

By Akamin Juzetha


From the beginning the marriage state between man and woman was meant to be a beautiful union, so amazing that the two actually became one. Since the fall, there has been opposition to that sweetness and innocence. That opposition encourages division between that which is intended to be one. This is where Christian marriage counseling can help.

If you are seeing a proverbial snake in the grass trying to steal away the love and commitment you began with, then think of it as your enemy and deal with it immediately. If you allow any thought that would divide you and your mate, take a hold of that thing and cast it from you. Abolish it right away or it will grow and fester into devastating proportions. Then the enemy will have won that victory in that area. Treat this like an invading cancer and get help. Marriage is too important to the Lord and should be to us as well, but many fall into deception and allow dividing things to creep in.

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.

Jesus said if you ask anything in my name I will do it. God's view of marriage is extremely important and we should hold it in the same esteem. Seek some Christian marriage counseling to get God's wisdom and his direction and expect divine intervention and be ready for miracles.
