Before you get on the marital journey with your partner, it’s crucial that you make an honest assessment of your own spiritual/mental/emotional health and that of your potential partner.
Rick Warren of Saddleback church made this profound statement: “Marriage does not create problems, it simply reveals them”. In other words, the more you can deal with emotional problems before you get married, the happier, more God-honoring, and more fulfilling your marriage is going to be.
If more people can be healed before they enter relationships, they will have better relationships. This is why we have put together this counseling package: to provide healing for people from their past, traumas from hurts, from whatever it is that keeps tying them to the past, in order to have more whole and healthy people.
Truth is unresolved trauma can give rise to anger, blame, or resentment within the marriage. These emotions can be triggered by trauma-related issues or events, causing friction and heightened conflict within the relationship. This is where marriage & relationship counseling comes in.
As a marriage counselor, one of the things provided is a structured and supportive environment for partners to address the impact of past traumas on their emotional well being and guide them towards true healing. This counseling will foster emotional expression, giving partners a safe space to articulate their emotions, fears, and insecurities without judgment.
