No, it's not for me and my hubby. A very dear family member and their spouse need a 3rd party to make some things work again. Anyone know of a good counselor in the 4042/Clayton/McGee's/Fuquay area. They really don't want to travel to Raleigh......... Thanks guys!!!
just tell them to post their problems here - we gladly give all kinds of free advice! :jester: Sorry, couldn't resist. :mrgreen:
Clayton Counseling but they changed names...let me see if I can get a hold of someone for you and get the right number.
I wish someone I know would get their head out of their hiney and realize they have a good man and not to throw it out the window because he's not perfect in every way. No one is..........she needs to get over herself. :?
Not only that, but them telling us their problems would probably help the rest of us feel better. :mrgreen:
And if that doesn't work, there's always Dr. Jim Beam up front. If you can't work through it, just numb it. Sorry...couldn't resist.
The solution to a marriage.... 1st Corinthians 13 4-8 summarizes it best: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. In reality love is hard - a marriage fails because one or both of them make a voluntary decision to stop loving each other. My recommendation is that they get plugged into a local church, reach out to the leadership and ask and heed their advice. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I have seen way to many marriages break up recently and it is painful to see. If they take God's word and apply to their lives, their marriage can be restored. We have seen many, many marriages restored in our church. They can be another one and be another story to be praise God for.
....I'm not a Christian, but this is great counsel for both parties. The only useful input I have to offer is that counseling only works for those that are willing.
:iagree: That is the key! If one party is not willing to seek help then none of these options will work. Divorce is not good, but living in that state is worse IMO.
I second that! I heard someone say recently, "It takes 3 to make a successful marriage." That is so true as long as the one in the center is Jesus.
