Marriage Refresh & Restore
Doing Forever TOGETHER. As best friends. As divine partners.
That's how it's supposed to happen.
That's what God intended.
That's what you signed up for.
That's worth protecting and fighting for.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE
Beyond "conversations", we need divine intervention.
Many Christian couples (even acting and serving) are going through a lot of marital frustration but are too ashamed to ask for help
Most men in frustrating marriages don't have outlets where they feel heard or advocated for in counseling (even in church).
Even couples that don't "practice" the Christian faith understand know that they might need some "divine intervention"
Many couples have had some form of counseling but have never experienced a collective atmospheric anointing that reaches deeper than conversations.
Many couples have the "head" knowledge of what to do, but don't have the frameworks to apply that knowledge.
So...what needs to happen?
The marriage has to become something it is currently not. That might look different for every couple, but the core principles are the same. There has to be a change work by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. You have to develop and apply NEW wisdom and new relational abilities. You need to face some truths about yourself. You need to understand things deeper. You need divine grace to apply wisdom in a new way in order to get you back to unity, friendship and divine partnership. And all this has to be done in the context of:
Other couples (To help you come out of isolation)
Facilitated teachng sessions
Prayer and worship

Absolutely. Therapy/Counseling is great. This is a very different experience. Having other couples there in itself starts to deal with the isolation that often weighs couples down. The environment of collective worship and prayer is another element that further breaks the chains that often keep marriages down. Finally, the content is deeply anchored in scripture.
-
That is understandable. Maybe they don't think it's needed. Maybe they have not had great experiences in therapy/counseling before. The key is to communicate a few things. (1) Being in a collective environment with other couples wanting to make their marriages better is often less intimidating than sitting in therapy. (2) The spouse that is hesitant is often the one that feels they are not "heard" in traditional therapy sessions. This type of environment actually works really well because in sessions like this, both spouses will likely hear from the stage, what the other has been trying to say.

Sorry that things have gotten that way. But NO. It is not too late. God can restore your marriage no matter how far gone you think it is. This singular event might be one part of a multifaceted approach to getting you better, but it will be an important one. You are not alone and there is still a chance.
-
Absolutely. You know, there is so much content out there that is based on opinions, psychology, movements and so on. That can actually do more damage than help. Learning about God's intention for marriage will probably be the most freeing and most healing experience you will have in your journey of marital restoration. Learning scriptural principles and tools will totally change the conversation for you and accelerate your healing/ restoration. So yes. This will be useful.
