The Real Problem With Traditional Christian Marriage Counseling
Have you and your spouse become that couple that you promised yourself you would never become before you got married?
The couple we’re talking about is something you’re familiar with. The couple that always seems to be bickering. The one where it’s obvious that everyone is frustrated with one another.
The one where it’s obvious that someone is having an affair.
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.
It’s very obvious that the path we’re on now hasn’t been effective.
So then, what’s really the problem?
Why haven’t all the sermons, counselors, books, programs, courses and who knows what else — all of which are supposed to help you have a successful marriage — worked?
We’ll cover the answer in a second — and I promise that once you truly see the simple reality that’s at the heart of nearly all successful marriages, you will never look at your relationship the same way again.
But let’s just back up for a second. Yes, I’m going to show you exactly how to access the best resources — many of them free — for Christian couples who want to turn their relationship around, but we need to cover a couple things first.
Now here’s the simple truth…
Just about all Christian marriage counseling you’re going to try isn’t going to work.
But what’s even worse, the years that we’ve spent teaching thousands of couples how to have outrageously happy marriages have proven that traditional marriage counseling makes it more likely that your marriage will fall apart.
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.”
But still nothing seems to work.
Fourteen years ago, our own marriage was headed for divorce. And we were headed for disaster despite the fact that we were doing everything we were told by traditional “experts” who insisted it was God’s plan for marriage.
Until we discovered the truth, there was no way we were going to be able to save our own marriage.
The problem is, most of the advice out there for Christian couples has been misunderstood. Many of the things that traditional Christian marriage counselors teach simply isn’t right.
We’re not saying that all of these so-called experts are willfully misinforming the church. Most of them probably mean well in the end.
The underlying problem is that they’re working from a set of faulty assumptions.
Now, we should discuss how to save your relationship by getting over these dangerous beliefs once and for all.
