When Linda and David came for counseling…

They were ready to call it quits on their marriage. The daily criticism, put downs and personal attacks had taken their toll. Respect for each other had reached an all time low.

 

David and Linda invited the Lord Jesus Christ into their lives and made serious commitments to their marriage. Gradually, they began to express respect and affection for each other, and their love and enjoyment of each other grew.

 

David and Linda became involved in a Bible study and have grown to become contributing members to their church, reaching out to others in their community and leading a small group.

 

Their neighbor watched…

 

Their neighbor, Bob, watched this entire process. He had seen David and Linda’s marriage fall apart and then be rebuilt. He longed for such a healthy relationship with his wife, Susan.

 

Recently, David and Linda encouraged Bob and Susan to come for counseling. Bob and Susan received Christ, and God has begun to revolutionize their relationship.

 

Bob described it as “it is like I walked through a doorway, and I can now understand things I have heard all my life, it all makes sense.” Susan expressed, “I was amazed that I have gone a whole day without becoming angry.” God’s peace has begun to invade their home.
