Biblical Marriage Counseling

Is your marriage stuck in a cycle of damaging patterns and behaviors? Has a communication breakdown moved you farther and farther apart? Are you feeling bitter, resentful, angry, or like you are walking on eggshells?

If there is one truth that comes to bear in all biblical counseling, it is that we are people driven more by the desires of our hearts than by our rational thoughts. We are complex individuals with unique experiences. Help for your problem will not be found in a formulaic program or by throwing Bible verses at the complexity.  

What to expect

Because of this complex dynamic, it is imperative that I listen to and understand the struggle each of you face. Asking purposeful questions about the experience of your hurt and disappointment will provide me with a helpful understanding of where you have both been hurt and where each has hurt the other. Allowing you to appropriately work through telling your experience is where counseling begins.

Moving towards healing will require you to replace finger-pointing with efforts to understand the other more deeply. As each of you speaks about your experience, both of you will have to provide a safe opportunity to express what is happening in the personal experience of your marriage.

Sorting through where you are and how you got there is hard work that will require a commitment. But the relationship that can result out of this hard work can keep your marriage together and bring a deeper love and respect for each other, along with hearts that learn to love others well.
