Marriage Counselling

Every marriage has the potential to be different and better. There is always hope for restoration.

Are you discontent with your marriage?

Somewhere something big went wrong… You may not know where it went wrong, or perhaps you know exactly, but your marriage is not what you want it to be. There is continual silence, or an ongoing situation of conflict between you and your partner that brings deep stress and unhappiness.

Should I divorce?

You do not know which way to turn and everything seems to point to divorce as the only option. Think again… Divorce is radical. It affects far more than just you and your partner — it deeply impacts everyone around you, especially your children.

Divorce has a disruptive effect on children and their self-esteem, and often contributes to rebellion, depression, youth distress, and relational brokenness. If you are able to avoid divorce, do everything you can to save your marriage first.

What should I do?

You owe it to yourself to seek therapy. Marriage counselling is not about creating an unrealistic, conflict-free relationship. Rather, it asks: How can we handle existing problems constructively? How can we turn this marriage crisis into an opportunity for depth and growth?

Conflict does not have to tear you apart; it can become part of a growing process toward loving intimacy. Counselling is not only about resolving problems, but also the adventure where spouses rediscover one another.

Can I attend alone?

Relationship problems are never just one party’s fault. However, if your partner does not want to attend counselling, it can still be deeply beneficial if you come alone. You can understand your own responses better and learn constructive ways to handle difficult situations.

Let divorce be your very last option. Do not separate before you have truly tried to save your marriage. There is always hope for recovery — every marriage has the potential to be renewed.
