The True Problem With Nearly All Christian Marriage Counseling

By Josiah T. Barttlett

Have you and your spouse become that couple that you promised yourself you would never become before you got married?

You definitely would know this couple when you saw them. The couple that makes you cringe because of the incessant bickering. The one where it's obvious that everyone is frustrated with one another.

The kind where you know in your heart that at least one -- and probably both -- are cheating.

No one wants to admit it, but this type of couple is the majority. In the Christian church, we have a higher than 50% divorce rate.

It's pretty apparent that whatever path we've been following so far hasn't been very effective.

So what's wrong?

Why haven't all the sermons, counselors, books, programs, courses and who knows what else -- all of which are supposed to help you have a successful marriage -- worked?

In a second, when we reveal the answer to that question, you're going to see why the couples who have finally had their eyes opened to the simple truth that forms the foundation of outrageously happy Christian marriages, your own relationship will be completely transformed.

But we don't want to jump too far ahead. I'm going to show you in just a second a few resources I think you should use that will help to completely turn your marriage around, no matter what's happened in the past, but first let's talk about a few things.

The simple truth of the matter is this...

Traditional Christian marriage counseling just doesn't work.

But what's even worse, the years that we've spent teaching thousands of couples how to have outrageously happy marriages have proven that traditional marriage counseling makes it more likely that your marriage will fall apart.

We understand that a lot of people aren't going to be pleased to hear that. No doubt you've given the traditional advice a chance - maybe you're tried the "wife must submit to her husband plan," or the "wife should respect her husband plan," and perhaps even the "husband as servant leader plan."

But still nothing seems to work.

Fourteen years ago, our own marriage was headed for divorce. And we were headed for disaster despite the fact that we were doing everything we were told by traditional "experts" who insisted it was God's plan for marriage.

Until we discovered the truth, there was no way we were going to be able to save our own marriage.

Problem is, the advice that you've probably followed has been misinterpreted. Many of the strategies taught by traditional counselors for Christian couples just isn't true.

Just so you understand, it's not that every single one of these experts is teaching tactics they know are wrong. Most of them don't mean to harm your marriage.

The real problem comes from their faulty assumptions more than anything else.

Now, we should discuss how to save your relationship by getting over these dangerous beliefs once and for all.
