The number one challenge Larry and I have is communication. He travels alot and I’m a stay at home momma. When we aren’t connected it allows so much crap to enter in.

I think GCom does a great job in hearing the needs of married couples. It really is important for a couple or just one half of to be engaged with your church family. And it’s important for the church family to be open and observant otherwise how can you tell when someone is hurting?

When Larry travels I make myself connect with the world so I don’t get lost in myself. It helps me focus on my home, my relationship with Jesus and helps keep destructive thoughts from surfacing.

2) Churches have failed to stand up for the covenant of marriage. The church is marrying persons to their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc spouse. Where did God ever say you could marry someone else? Only after death of your spouse. I have been dissappointed by the lack of support that I was able to receive from local churches, when I was trying to save my marriage. Most only offered after divorce support groups. Never marriage intervention groups, or marriage support. Sure they have men's bible study, and women's bible study, but what about keeping a family together for bible study? Churches today are afraid of standing for what GOD says about marriage. It is never an option. No today we have a watered down faith, that wants to never step on toes. Instead the church will turn its head from this issue, and focus on tithing, and missions, yes lets save someone else while our church families are being broken as fast as Satan can get to them.

1) Putting your own wants and desires above all else. When your desire to seek your own pleasure and happiness becomes greater than your desire to please God, greater than your vow to your spouse, and greater than your love for your children, you will chose the wrong path everytime. Marriage is not about what we can get from someone else. Marriage is about becoming more holy not happy. But holyness does not have the immediate gratafication that pursueing your own happiness falsly promises.

Communication, distrust, disrespect, finances. My marriage has been in a miserable state for the past few years. I have been very bitter and resentful. The final straw was my husbands confession of infidelity. Our marriage is over after 18 years and 5 kids.

I do not think the church was very helpful. We tried counseling through the church, but that didn't work, and there was no accountability. Further, a church leader actually told my husband NOT to tell me of the affair. What kind of marriage/intamacy can you expect when a spouse is hiding something of this signifigance from his spouse?
