Most Christian marriages begin in a church. You gather together in a house of God with your minister, your friends and family and the one with whom you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life. Husband and wife each vow to love, honor and obey ‘till death do you part. You promise to comfort each other in sickness and in health and to remain together whether rich or poor. These promises were not only made to your betrothed but also to God. God keeps His promises so if your marriage is in trouble where does the fault lie?

Regular church attendance may not be the answer to your problems but it’s a good place to begin. A church can help you feel closer to God and there are people there who share the same beliefs as you and can provide support. Of course, most ministers are always available and willing to offer advice. Ministers have been trained to provide marriage help in times of crisis. Christian counseling may be what you need if you find God hard to reach by yourself. It can help you determine what God wants from your marriage. It will allow you to understand your spouse and God better while bringing you closer to the solution. The Bible teaches that since the beginning, marriage has been a part of God’s plan for humanity. He can help you refocus on your priorities and rediscover your love for each other even if you no longer feel love and know the situation is hopeless. When you ask God for help, expect a miracle. Seek God’s help in rebuilding love, trust and to heal your hurt. You’ll learn how to attack the problem and not the person you love. With God’s help you’ll be better able to communicate and express your feelings hidden deep within your heart. There are many books you can read about Christian marriage and how to seek God’s help. You might start with the Bible that teaches faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love. It also encourages you to be forgiving and tenderhearted. Faults you see in your spouse may be a mirror of your own. Be forgiving of your partner’s faults, overlook them and be compassionate. The Bible says be pleasant and helpful. Look for ways to do good deeds and to make your spouse happy. Offer encouragement in all endeavors. Be complimentary. No one likes to be criticized and most of the time it’s undeserved. As Christ has forgiven you, so must you be forgiving. If a marriage is to survive you must be forgiving and compassionate. It’s easy to get distracted and become involved in so-called worldly pleasures. So many of these problems are directly opposed to God’s teaching such as lying, adultery and pornography. These are pretty serious problems and may not be a part of your life but small sins grow as we drift away from God and his teachings. God teaches us to reexamine ourselves and ask for help. Bury your pride and come to God with a willing spirit and you’ll find a renewed closeness to God and the person you love.
