What Part Does A Church Play In How To Save Your Marriage?

By Will Scott


Many of the religions around the globe view marriage as a sacred establishment that's the basis of the family. It is very important in these religions to make strenuous efforts feasible to save a marriage when it appears to be in difficulty.

The question that often arises, though, is how to save your marriage.

Even the very best of marriages will have their bad moments and nowadays there does seem to be more divorce than there once was many years back. The roles of males and females have changed considerably over the years.

Monetary pressures these days are tons more intense and children appear to have more behaviour issues than previously. These all put some pressure onto a marriage and some will struggle to get thru it.

So what do you do if your marriage is in chaos?

The church is one good starting point if your marriage needs help, after all the church does value the importance of marriage very highly.

Sure there are family therapists, marriage counselors or clinical psychologists you can visit but many of these will take on an individualistic approach to the therapy. A pastor or church advisor on the other hand will take a rather more wholistic approach which should have a much better likelihood of success.

Is there an advantage to seeing a pastoral counselor rather than a secular therapist?

A secular specialist has been educated in their field but their studies is just about only on treating individuals. Even those consultants who specialize in marriage and family care have only had maybe a class or elective in how to deal with couple's care. Because of their shortage of education for a family as a whole this approach is not invariably the best.

On the other hand, a pastoral counselor is educated with the purpose of helping couple's work thru their difficulties and brings them closer together. A preacher has the belief that once the vows of marriage are taken the marriage should be until death with the exception of an abusive relationship.

Many pastoral advisors have gone through formal education for counseling and even those that don't have a formal degree will take some seminars and classes on this subject.

If you do not attend church regularly then you may not have a priest already at hand to help you. Some churches may require membership before you can approach the pastor for such counseling.
