Could Your Marriage Use a Boost?

Whenever two imperfect people come together in the union of marriage, we can expect issues to bubble up here and there. Every couple has problems in their relationship to some degree. If these challenges are worked through well, they can actually have the way to greater levels of love and intimacy. When issues in a marriage are left unresolved, husbands and wives can become stuck in a cycle of negativity, blame, resentment and desperation. Our marriage therapists at Seattle Christian Counseling are here to tend to your relationship before things get out of control. If you and your spouse are feeling unsatisfied or your marriage seems on the brink of disaster, know that you are not alone. Consider giving Christian marriage counseling a try – we’re here to fan the flame of hope.
