I am a retired Family Therapist and am convinced that the training I received and gave to the church about building healthy families will last for generations. Any church that is not developing and carrying out multiple programs for their marriages and family life is failing their people and failing God.
I know, I am a fanatic about teaching Christians practical lifeskills. I am somewhat bummed out that so few of our churches are failing to reach the relationship skills necessary to prevent serious marital conflicts . These conflicts lead to divorce and destruction.
These lifeskills of prevention and marital happiness are not unknown nor are they difficult to teach. All it takes is a desire to do it. I can train pastors how but they have to have the motivation.
Why do pastors and elders prefer to wait until their people are depressed, anxious and going through a divorce to show concern for marriage and family life? Why are so many Christian couples getting a divorce? Why are we not different from the world?
The lack of lifeskills being taught in churches is the main reason people divorce. Who is responsible for that?
