A Well Needed Help

Marriage is a covenant between 2 imperfect people with imperfect ways,
in an imperfect world so you can bet you will have challenges.

It's always great to know that there are married elders in the faith who are there when you need them, just reach out and ask for help. It is an awesome privilege to be in a position to be able to help a couple endure marriage growing pains. Just remember to be sensitive to Holy Spirit and give advise based on Godly principles and follow His instructions. This will keep you out of trouble and allows God to meet the needs of the couple seeking help. For the challenged couple it is very humbling and requires them to become vulnerable inviting someone into their world to ask for the help they need. 
 
You may be the challenged couple or the supporting couple,
which ever one you are DON'T forget to pray for the other couple as well as your marriage.

There is no need to struggle alone when God has placed Godly seasoned couples in your life to help you. We all need help at some point in our marriages, just be sure it's Godly wisdom you seek.

Galatians 6:1 AMP
"BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also."
