Counseling while you're dating. Premarital Counseling. Marriage Counseling. Nick and I are PRO-counseling no matter what season your relationship is in! Marriage counseling is a weapon that protects your marriage from the temptation of divorce - but it’s also a safety-net that maintains the quality of your marriage before divorce is ever a real consideration. How to tell if you need counseling?

The same issues repeatedly come up. Your communication isn’t good. Your fighting isn’t safe (you yell, cuss, throw accusations, always end up in tears, or don’t fight fair) You’re not having sex - one partner isn’t happy with the sex. You’re not agreeing on how to parent. You’re experiencing a major life change. Where to go to receive counseling: Your church pastors (we highly recommend going to both the husband and wife pastoral team). A Christian counselor or therapist.
