Counseling and Christian Marriag
The counseling of couples has long endured a number of transitional changes as marriages and other relationships have become increasingly fragile. Social demographics have contributed to the break-up of families and added to the broad-range of issues, which counselors must address. Recent decades have brought with them increasingly problematic scenarios and the foci of couple counseling have shifted--with only limited success.Presented is an overview of current methodologies as well as a presentation of ideas for the more effective counseling of coupling from a biblical perspective. It is argued that couples must be reminded of their vows, their commitment to God and to each other-- and to the idea that "troubled waters" are often only a 'test of faith.' Predictably, marriages will be improved and strengthened when we return to a more divine perspective and methodology for relevant counseling. For several years, "family values" have come to represent a volatile substance deposited at the crossroads between American politics and religion, with the Bible as the fuel waiting to be ignited. Marriages have been improved and destroyed over these perceived values and non-married couples have endured a similar roller coaster.
