Marriage Counseling
“God hopes for your marriage when you cannot and
He is faithful to your marriage when you forget.”
Malika King, LPC
​
Healthy marriages take a lot of intentionality and commitment to become all that God intended. He designed marriage as a covenant between you, your spouse, and Himself. Each of you have been wired for intimacy, attachment, and connection.
​
In marriage, the more you both move toward God, the closer you become to each other. Unfortunately, instead of focusing on God, spouses often begin to focus on themselves and their unmet needs. It then becomes easy to dishonor one’s spouse, hold onto unforgiveness, and make judgments about their mate's worst actions only to judge themselves by their best intentions.
​
If you find yourself stuck in an unfulfilled marriage that does not resemble the heart of God, I can help you shift your perspective and surrender your marriage to Him.
​
​
My Approach
My aim in marriage counseling is to address the underlying heart issues that divide the couples, which are often very different than the presenting problem. As you surrender to God, you as a couple will identify your strengths and growth area, learn how to effectively communicate, and create an atmosphere conducive for healing and change.
Marriage counseling may include separate and joint sessions. Separate sessions allow this therapist to hear individual concerns, whereas joint sessions allow observations of the marriage dynamics.
If only one spouse is willing to do the work, I encourage you to pursue getting help through individual counseling. God is looking for the one willing vessel and promises that He can sanctify your spouse if you are willing to go through the process of being sanctified (I Corinthians 7:14). Do not be discouraged, God can do exceedingly and abundantly above all you can ask or think, according to the power that works in you (Ephesians 3:20).
I recognize that all marriages will not be restored. If you decide that divorce is inevitable, I will be able to help you navigate that transition.
