Using The Framework of Scripture To Guide Your Troubled Christian Marriage
If you are searching for Christian marriage advice then it is a reasonable assumption that you have some problems within your marriage. The fact that you are seeking advice is a positive sign. It indicates that you are aware of your relationship issues and are actively seeking some guidance towards resolving them.
Too often married couples choose to ignore that their relationship has issues that need to be addressed. Faith may well be a source of great solace when your marriage is experiencing difficulties but of itself faith doesn’t make your union any stronger.
Marriage has always been part of Gods plan for his people, of that there is no doubt. Yet in our modern western culture the institution of marriage is under siege. Approximately half of all new marriages are ending in divorce.
The pressure our modern lifestyle places on our relationship can be immense. Many of the foundations of a Christian lifestyle are being eroded away and our culture has evolved beyond a simple “woman should submit to her husband”
Discover The Secret To Saving Your Marriage!
We spend years in formal education and yet the subject of relationships and how to successfully conduct them is seldom touched upon. Is it any wonder that we turn to the Internet for our marriage guidance?
At this time you need guidance to allow you to understand and deal with your problems. This guidance may take the form of traditional marriage counseling or can be as simple as downloading one of the many excellent online marriage counseling systems.
Two such systems which I would highly recommend for any couples seeking relationship advice are
‘Save My Marriage Today’ by Amy Waterman’. Comprehensive and detailed it is one of the most popular systems of its type currently available online.
The other guide which I think is particularly relevant to your situation is ‘Save Your Christian Marriage’ by the Rev. Lee H. Baucom. This online system is very much written from the Christian perspective and Reverend Baucom highlights shared faith as important in repairing your relationship.
Christian marriage counseling and secular marriage counseling both share the same goals. The difference lies in their methodologies. Christian counseling may utilize the framework of scripture for guidance, whereas secular counseling utilizes the framework of psychology, as its primary methodology.
You have to choose whichever the two of you feel most comfortable with. In terms of cost either or both of these systems are quiet cheap, particularly when compared with the cost of several sessions with a traditional marriage counselor. Also as they are downloadable products they are available to download instantly and give you an opportunity to begin working on your problems almost immediately.
If you are seeking Christian marriage advice then definitely consider these two systems. The important thing is that you take some action and start working through your issues as soon as you can. Not only is your relationship with each other suffering but almost certainly your relationship with God as well.
Final authority lies with the word of God and not the secular world. Divorce unpleasant as it is, remains even more unpalatable for a Christian, who believes that our ultimate accountability is to our God.
May God guide you.
