God’s Perfect Marriage Counseling Marriage is the most beautiful of all the sacraments, for it remains unique in sanctifying two souls as one in the presence of the Lord. The bond of marriage is created and blessed by the Almighty himself when the couple exchanges their wedding vows. This bond might tend to grow weaker over the years, due to the difference of opinion, the discretion of choices and misinterpretation of intentions. If the goal is to strengthen this sacred bond with unconditional love and mutual understanding and to save the marriage from falling apart, then it is the Word of God that will render the best Marriage Counseling. Here is how the scripture emphasizes the greatness of marriage and guides the couple towards a ‘happily forever’: Bond of Love Marriage is built on the foundations of Love. St. Paul says 1 Corinthians 16:14in: “Do everything in love." This verse becomes the slogan of every successful marriage. The Lord puts before us, Love as the greatest commandment as Christ himself said, “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." - John 15:12. For the bond of marriage to remain durable, Love is the way to it. Strength of Unity Marriage brings two hearts as one. The couple makes their sacred vows before God to remain together through thick and thin and through health and sickness. The Christian faith hence does not promote the concept of divorce. The Word of God makes it clear in Mark 10:9: “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Mutual respect and appreciation The most successful couples are found to have built their relationship on mutual trust and respect for each other. It is important to appreciate the indispensable role your better half plays in your life.
The scripture says for the men, in Ephesians 5:25: “For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ Local Church. He gave up his life for her." God calls for the husbands to appreciate their wives for the kind of the blessing in disguise they are. "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." - Proverbs 31:10 God does not subjugate or elevate one gender over the other since he promotes equality in the wedlock. The Lord emphasizes that man and women should live in loving respect for each other. “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." - Romans 12:10 The power of forgiveness The inability to forgive lies at the root of most of the broken families. The Bible in Ephesians 4:32 says: “Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." St. Paul says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Thereby through the apostles of Christ, God emphasizes on being merciful and forgiving towards each other to receive the gracious mercy of the Almighty and to live a life of less-grudges, vengeance and ego and more love. So whenever there arises a crack in the bond of love, it is God who will heal them through his Word. He will counsel the marriages that are fragile and the brittle and will make them unbreakable and indestructible in him and in his faith.
