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.
