   THE POWER OF GOD'S HEALING LOVE!


When everyone else has given up, God has not!

Through repentance and renewal, desperate situations can be reversed. By showing how we can recommit our life to God and to our spouse, there is hope and healing for all troubled marriages.



   WITH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!


Love is a Commitment!

If the commitment is as only as strong as your feelings, then you will have to constantly walk on eggshells and sweep things under the rug to maintain the marriage. We are responsible to treat our spouses' according to all of God's commands.


Communication is Essential!

In order to function as one, you must make talking a priority. You must learn to talk to each otherin order to be sensitive to each others needs. If thisis hard, then you need to learn.


Make Christ Central!

Unless your marriage is built on the rock of Christ, the trials of life can easily destroy it. Marriage partners need to learn to pray daily about all issues they are facing.



















"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed"
Proverbs 15:22
