Together We Can Bridge The Gap

Marriage Resources

Strengthening Marriage Through Faith, Support, and Wisdom

In our parents’ generation, church staff were often the go-to for counseling services. This approach was built on trust, shared faith, and the belief that spiritual leaders could offer biblically grounded emotional support.

While Christ should always be the foundation of a strong marriage, most pastors are not equipped with clinical assessment skills or professional training for complex issues.

Today, fewer pastors receive formal counseling training, and many are hesitant to refer to licensed professionals.
The solution: Collaboration — faith and professional care working hand in hand.

Limitations Churches Rarely Address

Many Christians still believe churches alone should handle marital or individual counseling. But challenges like trauma, mental health concerns, or deep relational issues often require professional expertise.
