Well, the New Year is heavily upon us. I'm guessing that many of you are wondering how we managed to almost make it 10 years into this new century. (I know I am!)We've made it past our first week in the New Year so I have to ask, "How are your resolutions going?" Remember that if you want to change it can take several tries before habits are changed. So if you have slipped up don't give up too soon.
On that note, I have noticed that one of the problems marriages have is that couples give up on their relationship too soon. Research has shown that if couples in crisis stay together and work things out - the vast majority report high satisfaction in their relationships 5 years later. It takes some time, but most couples report the hard work is worth avoiding a painful divorce and rescuing love and commitment.
As a marriage counselor I have the unique privilege of helping couples on the brink of divorce find their way back towards marital satisfaction. It is the most wonderful job to help folks restore their love and devotion to one another. And trust me, it can happen!
All that to say, if you are struggling...
Keep Trying,
Don't Give up Hope, and
Keep the Faith.

Just popping by to say that I really appreciate what you do. As a novice marriage counselor (Pastors are expected to do SO much for which they are so not qualified!)I truly appreciate the mental health professional who can steer the broken marriage towards healing, wholeness, yea, even happiness! Just wanted you to feel appreciated...helping others professionally can be a thankless job. :)
thanks so much Beth!
It is great to be appreciated!
