Resurrecting a dead Christian Marriage is not for the faint of heart

How does a Christian Marriage become a Difficult Christian Marriage?
All of our stories are different, but if you are married, odds are you have weathered Difficult Season or two. The question I answer all the time is in different variations of this:
“How do I keep my difficult season from leading us to divorce?”
My answer is always the same.
Find hope.
Hope breathes life in ways nothing else can. There are stories all around of God showing up and changing the direction of situations that seemed hopeless. Find them, read them and be renewed in your faith in His Miricle Working Abilities. I love this story from Luke 7:11-18

Are you Ready for Radical Change in your Marriage?
That was me – just a few years ago. Stuck, Hopeless and Miserable with no idea how to change the course of our Christian Marriage. I had read every book I could find, went to retreats, marriage counseling… and still, our Marriage was failing.
What changed?
- We hit rock bottom.
- I got very real with God about my part in the Marriage.
- I found a Mentor I could trust.
- We worked through every issue in our marriage with an open Bible!
I found another way to do Biblical Marriage – a Radical Way – that changed our direction from divorce-bound to Hope and Joy filled.

Thank you for these encouraging thoughts and resources. I pray that they touch the right person and gives hope to those in difficult situations.
Thanks Maryann. SO encouraging! I appreciate the comment!
What a timely topic. In a world where so many turn to divorce – a thing that seems easy but often leads to years of more hurt – this is a great message for those willing to put all things aside but Jesus!
Amen to that!
I cannot connect to this article because I choose to not have a Christian marriage, but I’m sure you are providing some wonderful inspiration for others.
Thanks for commenting Amanda. Praying for you today 😉
Such a great and much needed post. Many Christians think they won’t have trouble in their marriage and are surprised when they do.
I couldn’t agree more. The Christian life is not free of trouble… we just have help through the times of trouble.
I am so sorry for what all you went through but thankful that you continually turned to the Lord and that now you can help others. God’s Word is so powerful. Glad you have gleaned truths from His Word and yes, prayer is so vital too.
There was a time I regreted it all… wished it away… but from the pain was birthed a ministry that is now helping thousands of wives evey month. God has a way doesn’t HE?!
thank you for sharing your tips. Divorce seems like such an easy way out for way too many
An easy way out that never stops hurting…
This would be helpful to those who felt that there was still something worth hoping for and saving. being a separated single mom for 2 years now I did try to make it work but it just reached it’s course.
I’m so sorry Louisa. Divorce is so painful. Pryaing for you and your children.
Thank you for this thoughtful and helpful workshop!
I’m so glad it blessed you, Nicole!
