As a pastor, you know that strong marriages are vital to the health of your church. That’s why you counsel engaged couples, preside over wedding ceremonies, and celebrate anniversaries. God ordained marriage to provide companionship, spiritual connection, physical intimacy, and the ability to pursue Him together as husband and wife—one flesh. A holy union.
Yet, you see it every week: Life gets messy, couples struggle, marriages become strained. That’s why Focus on the Family wants to come alongside you as a church leader and equip you to minister to them. We want to provide resources that encourage husbands and wives to look to Christ for healing and strength—whatever their circumstances.
An honest look at a pastor’s marriage that was very nearly destroyed by his addiction to work, and her suppressed feelings of loneliness and anger. Paul and Melody Westbrook explain how their marriage fell apart, and how several days of counseling at Hope Restored helped rebuild it. They explain the “marriage intensive” counseling process, and give hope to couples in dire straits.
In a discussion based on his book From This Day Forward: Five Commitments to Fail-Proof Your Marriage, Pastor Craig Groeschel offers practical advice to couples on how they can develop a strong, healthy marriage that will last a lifetime. (Part 1 of 2)

Through small acts of service, we grow closer as a couple, get to know our church family better and enjoy being used by God to touch others’ lives.
If you’re not interested in being honest and sharing your struggles you might as well go join a club. Why join a church at all?
