Marriage Counseling and Marriage Problems

Have you tried marriage counseling yet? If you haven't my advice to you is don't risk your marriage. Marriage problems are the food for marriage counseling but not the solution for your marital problems. Many people who go to marriage counseling love the counselors they see - and then they get a divorce. What does that say to you? To me it says that marriage counselors are really good at creating a connection with their clients (they take courses on how to do that) but don't know anything about marriage.

There is a Reason Marriage Counseling Doesn't Work

People are triune (three parts) in nature; we are spiritual (a soul), psychological (a mind) and physical (a body). You would think that everyone would agree with that but western psychology, which is the body of knowledge marriage counselors refer to, is atheistic: no God, no soul; nothing! So how can they help anybody when they ignore the most essential aspect of those who seek their help; they can't! The fact is we are souls who have minds and bodies; we are essentially spiritual beings. Understanding how you are put together is very important information if you need a "repair" or if the two of you need to know how to interact. Those who believe mankind is primarily psychological or physical pretend love is psychological (emotional). It is true most forms of passion are emotion, but love is spiritual; man cannot create it; we can't even define love, or even describe it very well!

Marriage is a Creation of God, not Man

If you ask a sociologist or psychologist about the origins of marriage you will hear how it "evolved" from the past practices of human ownership, that in the dark ages men used to own women but for some inexplicable reason the ownership evolved into a marriage. Reality of what marriage is can be found in scriptures of all religions, which lay down the prescriptions and proscriptions for holy matrimony. Granted, the interpretations of rules conceived by church leaders of all religions are varied, but the foundational spiritual principles are universal. When a man and woman come together in holy matrimony the union is sanctified. The union is a spiritual union and so it has to follow the spiritual principles in order for it to function as it is intended. When people pervert those spiritual principles or pretend they don't exist the union of marriage lacks substance and staying power. Marriage can deliver amazing benefits that stretch far beyond what human imagination can conceive and that is what marriage counselors don't know. If they did the divorce rate for marriage counselors and other psychologists would be far below the average instead of roughly the same as with other occupational groups.

Divorce Statistics for Marriage Counselors Describe Ignorance, not Marital Knowledge

I have been asked many times if my own systems work when one of the couple has no desire for the marriage to work. My response is very simple: most people who give up only do so because they don't believe there is truly a solution to their marital problems. My system offers a solution that simply works because it is simple. Therefore most people who appear to be utterly hopeless have their hopes revived just by reading some of the lessons I have prepared. I hope and pray you do not give up.
