Christian Marriage Counseling – Be Careful When You Choose a Counselor
Have you and your spouse become that couple that you promised yourself you would never become before you got married?
You know the couple we mean. The couple that’s arguing more often than not. The kind where it’s completely apparent that they’re always frustrated with one another.
The one where you just know deep down that one of them is cheating (or maybe both).
No one wants to admit it, but this type of couple is the majority. In the Christian church, we have a higher than 50% divorce rate.
So it should be pretty obvious that whatever we’ve been trying up to this point isn’t working.
So what’s the problem then?
Why, despite all of the books that have been written, the sermons that have been delivered, and the time and energy that well-meaning counselors have spent trying to teach Christian couples how to have successful marriages, are we still finding it so difficult to have the kinds of relationships that God wants us to have?
We’re going to get to that answer in just a second – and we promise that when you finally discover the simple truth that lies at the heart of every single successful Christian marriage, it’s going to completely transform your relationship forever.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. In just a minute we’re going to discuss the best places to get free advice on how to save your marriage if that’s what you need, but we need to just go over a few things before we do.
The simple truth of the matter is this…
Traditional Christian marriage counseling just doesn’t work.
But it gets even worse. What we’ve learned in all our years of working with thousands of couples is that, almost without exception, traditional marriage counseling actually does more harm than good.
We understand that it won’t be pleasant for a lot of you to hear that. It’s more than likely that you’ve tried things like the “wife should submit to the husband” system, or other traditional advice. Maybe you’ve even given a shot to the “husband is servant leader plan.”
And still, it’s not working.
We were on the path to divorce 14 years ago. And, probably like you, we were headed that way even though we tried to follow all of the traditional advice that we had been told had been laid down in the Bible.
We couldn’t possible have saved our relationship if we hadn’t finally learned the truth.
Problem is, a lot of what passes as advice for Christian couples today has been misinterpreted. Many of the techniques and teachings you’ll hear from traditional Christian marriage counselors simply doesn’t work.
It’s not that every expert out there is trying to spread bad advice. Many of them probably mean well.
The real issue is that they’re operating under a set of faulty assumptions.
So, now we should talk about how to rescue your marriage by getting rid of these dangerous assumptions.
The first thing you must do now is head over to our site where we show you exactly why traditional Christian marriage counseling doesn’t work.
You’re going to get immediate access — and results — from a full suite of tools, including video and audio instructions, as well as a downloadable PDF guide. I hope I didn’t forget to mention that the information there is free.
We’ve also put together this article that discusses Christian marriage counseling and some more effective alternatives.
We’re looking forward to seeing you over there.
