Every couple has bumps in their relationship at times. However, how do you know if it’s time to seek help from a professional counselor or therapist? Chris and Jamie Bailey are Christian marriage counselors and in today’s episode, they share so many gems to help you have a long-lasting marriage. I truly enjoyed this chat and took lots of notes (you might want to grab a pen and paper, too!).

This episode is for anyone who wants to be in a romantic relationship or is currently in one. No need to wait until you’re married to learn how to set yourself up for success. This episode is also for those who, like me, came from a broken home, and want to know how you can do marriage God’s way. If you or someone you know needs a marriage tune-up or hope, I encourage you to listen to today’s episode.

the root cause of many marital issues,blended families,how a personal relationship with God makes a difference in your marriage,how churches can address marital issues,the biggest myths about couples counseling,when to consider counseling and how to find the right therapist,what to do when one spouse doesn’t want to attend counseling,how to model a godly marriage when you come from a broken home,what it means to make your spouse a priority + why you should, and more!
