Quick Counsel

Sometime ago, I spent a few days thinning out over 20 years of counseling files. As I went through each individual file, I could see faces and remember issues. I was struck by how many married couples I had worked with. I celebrated those couples who had turned things around and went on to have great marriages. But I also grieved over those marriages that ended in divorce. I was so burdened those who divorced that I began to jot down the issues that fueled those divorces. What I discovered was, despite the uniqueness of each couple, the issues that led to their divorces were quite common.  And with the exception of three or four big things,  most of the issues were smaller, more normal things that were left unattended for too long. So, I compiled my notes into a list I called, "Ways to Lose Your Marriage" or just "The List" for short. And in the weeks to come, I’m going to be sharing this list with you. Each week, in no particular order, we will cover one way to lose your marriage.
