Marriage Counseling Advice
Challenge!
Take the Marriage Counseling Advice Challenge
and get a reality check!
Reality Check #1 It's not all your spouse's fault. Your challenge? Make a decision not to place all of the blame on your spouse. Whether you choose to believe it or not, marriage is a two way street. If your spouse behaves badly, he is responsible for his behavior but YOU are responsible for how YOU respond. Your response can bring resolve or make a bad situation worse.
Reality Check #2 Looking for someone to take your side is immature. Your challenge? Don't seek the opinions of friends and family members when it comes to your marriage. Marriage is sacred. Therefore, what happens between you and your spouse should not be discussed with others behind your spouse's back. It's nobody's business but yours!
Reality Check #3 Contrary to popular belief, time does not heal all wounds. Your challenge? Don't wait-- Get help now. Past studies have revealed that, on average, a married couple will tolerate a dysfunctional relationship for seven years before deciding to talk to a marriage counselor.
Rather than waiting until your marriage is hanging by a thread, take the challenge to get help now. The reality is if you and your spouse could fix your marriage, you wouldn't be reading this page.
Reality Check #4 You must be willing to stick with your marriage no matter how dismal it seems. Understand that Christian marriage
is a covenant not a contract. While a contract can be voided if either party fails to live up to their side of the agreement, a covenant is a lifetime commitment that remains valid even if one person fails to hold up his end of the bargain.
Reality Check #5 With God all things are possible! Your Challenge? Trust God and watch Him work on your behalf.
