Okay, you have had enough warning signs in your relationship, right? Now, your marriage is on the brink of breaking down, is that true too? Every relationship has its own ups and downs. If not handled on time, it may end up losing the one who is dear to us. Often, due to the clash of the ego, couples refrain from seeing a counselor. They wait until one of them has given up completely or has taken dangerous steps.
As winning wars require a great counseling so does saving marriages. You Christian couples should seek Christian marriage counseling as soon as they feel dejected or dissatisfied with their marriage.
But, the world hasn’t been spared from dubious counselors. Hence, before you would visit a counselor, consider a few tips to save money, time and effort. Here is your guide to the right counselor.
Look at the affiliation part
Find out whether or not a counselor is associated with one of the known organizations for Christian counselors. Check to see if they have affiliated with a government approved association.
Check the license
Find out about the license and training academy of the counselor. It would be of great help if the counselor has received his/her training under a Christian counseling program. A state license doesn’t always mean you will have the best counseling.
Check the experience
Check to see if the counselor is experienced. If he/she is perfect in dealing with a particular issue, he/she could help you better. If possible, ask your counselor to know if he/she is experienced.
Choose the one from your own religious outfit
Christian couples should always choose the one aced in Christian marriage counseling than the one who isn’t. A counselor too far from your belief or religious aspects may seem contradictory to your beliefs. Hence, having someone from your own religious framework will help you a lot.
There is nothing which can work for you until and unless you decide to help yourself. A counselor can only counsel you. But you have to walk on the path. You have to make the right decision and take the final call.
So, consider these tips and seek Christian marriage counseling whenever you find something not going well in your life.
