Have you and your spouse become that couple that you promised yourself you would never become before you got married?

You definitely would know this couple when you saw them. The couple that makes you cringe because of the incessant bickering. The one where it’s obvious that everyone is frustrated with one another.

The one where it’s obvious that someone is having an affair.

No one wants to admit it, but this type of couple is the majority. We have a higher than 50% divorce rate as Christians.

It’s very obvious that the path we’re on now hasn’t been effective.

So then, what’s really the problem?

Why are we still facing an epidemic of divorce in the Christian church when there are all these books, counselors, sermons, programs who knows what else all promising to teach you how to make your marriage succeed?

We’re going to get to that answer in just a second – and we promise that when you finally discover the simple truth that lies at the heart of every single successful Christian marriage, it’s going to completely transform your relationship forever.

But we don’t want to jump too far ahead. I’m going to show you in just a second a few resources I think you should use that will help to completely turn your marriage around, no matter what’s happened in the past, but first let’s talk about a few things.

The simple truth of the matter is this…

Traditional Christian marriage counseling just doesn’t work.

But it gets even worse. What we’ve learned in all our years of working with thousands of couples is that, almost without exception, traditional marriage counseling actually does more harm than good.

We know that that’s going to be a bit difficult for many people to hear. Have you tried things like the “wife must submit to her husband” plan or the “wife must respect her husband” plan? Maybe even the “husband is the servant leader.”

And yet nothing is working.

Fourteen years ago, our own marriage was headed for divorce. And we were headed for disaster despite the fact that we were doing everything we were told by traditional “experts” who insisted it was God’s plan for marriage.

We never could have saved our marriage and become the happy couple we are now without learning the truth.

The problem is, most of the advice out there for Christian couples has been misunderstood. Many of the things that traditional Christian marriage counselors teach simply isn’t right.

We’re not saying that all of these so-called experts are willfully misinforming the church. Most of them probably mean well in the end.

The real problem comes from their faulty assumptions more than anything else.

Now, we should discuss how to save your relationship by getting over these dangerous beliefs once and for all.
