Our New Site Design is already rich with Articles and Real Life Cases full of life-giving wisdom to help encourage you – no matter where you are in your marriage – even if you are not yet married, you will find useful resources here.
Whether you are the spouse, who is struggling to save your marriage, or the one who thinks the marriage was a mistake from the beginning and just want out, the truths contained in this site can change your life. We have helped people work through the issues of badly damaged marriages, even when neither really wanted help.
Your marriage is working perfectly to bring about God’s purpose in both of your lives. The two of you can completely miss what God is doing, and fail to obtain the benefit for the rest of your life! Your marriage can be reconciled. It can be better than you ever hoped. Even if the mere thought of that repulses you right now.
In fact, two thirds of the marriages we have helped, only one spouse came for help, and in half of those marriages, we never met the other spouse. The spouse we did see is not frustrated or in agonizing pain because, they are the only one working on the marriage.
It does not matter how mature you were in your faith, or how fruitful you were in the lives of others, when you were single. When you get married, eventually both of you were going to begin to have what the apostle Paul called “trouble after the flesh.”
That is when you discover the truth all spouses have to face. Admit it, before you got married you were not nearly the person you should have been in Christ to successfully bear with, forgive, love, and sanctify the person you were to marry - and neither were they.
In marriage once either of you gets “in the flesh – i.e., your old nature,” your deepest fears and hurts are going to surface, and your highest ideals and worst traits are going to begin to get frustrated. The result may be terrible pain, despair, double-mindedness, fear hopelessness, loneliness, mistrust, numbness or pain, etc., and above all spiritual powerlessness to change any of it.
Forget your spouse for a moment;
In spite of the pain, be careful to hear this and make no mistake about it. Your marriage is working just fine. You have just not known how to cooperate with what God is doing. If you did His purposes could be accomplished in less time, and both of you can be restored to love and peace, and the fruitful life that He wants to give you.
