Marriage Counseling

_{What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy? – Gary Thomas (Sacred Marriage)}

At Fortify Christian Counseling, LLC we believe that marriage was created not merely to bring about happiness, but to chisel away at our worldliness, and make us more like Jesus. From the beginning, men and women were designed as relational beings and the covenant of marriage serves as God’s picture-perfect illustration of the divine union between Jesus Christ and His bride, the church.

Unfortunately, God’s flawless design for marriage has been tarnished by the sinful world around us, the selfishness within us and the enmity between us. Even within the body of Christ, countless men and women see their spouse not as an intimate ally provided by God, but as an irritating roommate, an uninteresting companion, a narcissistic bully or even perhaps the devil incarnate.

The fact is, good marriages are not stumbled upon by accident, they are developed over time, cultivated through different seasons, and fought for until “death do us part.” 

If you feel like your marriage is at an all-time low, stuck in the same negative interaction cycle, or you are drifting further and further apart, then it may be time ask for help and restore the relational intimacy God designed you for.

At Fortify Christian Counseling, LLC we walk with couples through challenges such as addiction, abuse, chronic illness, infidelity, in-law conflict, mental illness, co-parenting and intimacy issues, blended families struggles and a plethora of other challenges to help couples know each other more intimately, meet emotional needs more effectively, communicate more clearly, and sustain agape love together.
