This current economic downturn is putting an enormous strain on many marriages and leaving a trail of broken hearts,broken marriages,
mistrust,devastated childrens in its wake and traumatic divorces as many people who could not handle to the new realities of lost jobs and mounting bills in their lives.

Are You in a rocky marriage? Are the verbal and physical fights getting out of hand and you both don't know what to do? Marriage counseling may be just what you both need?

If you answered yes to the previous questions, the first thing you both need to do is spend some time apart if there is violence involved (Either spouse can be an abuser) the authorities may need to be called to prevent anyone from getting seriously injured.

In a recent case in Queens, New York, a wife believed that her husband was having an affair, poured boiling hot water on her sleeping husband's genitals and she almost immediately regretted it by putting on a cold pack (she's still going to end up being charged with a crime.)

If a couple tries to handle disagreements without much success,marriage counseling offers you both a chance to air your differences with an objective and fresh perspective, You absolutely need someone who won't take sides.

With many things in life, there are pluses and minuses and marriage counseling is no exception. Choose someone who you both feel shares your values, has a good reputation,someone who won't use the personal issues being discussed to blackmail,humiliate or use as a topic of discussion behind your back.

While marriage counseling is not a cure all, a counselor can be a fresh pair of eyes and can provide suggestions,a roadmap of sorts, on what the two of you should do to bring back the love and desire, to recommit to one another.

A marriage counselor's advice is not perfect and from a christian viewpoint, you should make sure that what the counselor lines up with the scriptures.

There are certain things that only you, can decide if the relationship is worth saving,something that marriage counseling by itself can't do for you. For example if your spouse has betrayed you (infidelity), only you can decide if you want to end your marriage.

Bottom line, you want a marriage counselor who shares your values,marriage counseling can be sought at any stage of the marriage,before you face difficulties or even before you get married.

A marriage counselor can help you deal with issues like how to communicate more effectively with one another,how to disagree without blowing up at one another and for Christians, drawing closer to God and applying his principles and commandments to the marriage.

By choosing a christian marriage counselor, it will remind the two of you about the sanctity of the marital commitment you both made and about what God's role in your lives should be as well.
