Christian Premarital Counseling

Specializing in Christian premarital counseling is a calling that is very rewarding. If you are considering this particular aspect of counseling it is important to include that in your educational goal. Having that certificate or degree that is required by many counseling centers before they will hire you is adamant. Guiding couples through difficult situations, getting the center of their marriage to be God is so important.

Our Troubled Society

Our World Today offers many temptations and distractions for couples to get their eyes off the Lord and also off each other and sometime focusing on too much themselves. Singles and young adults are also finding themselves having to make choices that weren’t available even just a few years ago. Anyone can easily go online and become involved in gambling, pornography, and even acquire shopping addictions that can lead to financial problems.

Getting a Biblical Perspective

Getting a biblical perspective from a qualified Christian counselor is so important. We may think things are new and situations are vastly different then they were in Old Testament times, but they really aren’t. As it says in Ecclesiastes 1:9 “there is nothing new under the sun.” The Bible is a rich source of examples with answers and solutions to many of our problems if we are willing to accept them. Ecclesiastes goes on further to say (Ecc 1:14) “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.” What the writer is saying is that we are looking within ourselves and at ourselves and only do what feels good for us.

It would be awful to wander through the desert as Nebuchadnezzer did in the book of Daniel. How much better it is to receive correction and accept the punishment and move on. Guilt can cause so much pain. When visiting with a Christian counselor you are not the first or the last that has a story to tell. Nothing is new to them.

By taking heed to godly and biblical counsel you can turn your life around and begin enjoying your relationship with the Lord and serving Him to the fullest. Let go of whatever is hindering you from moving forward.

4:34 “And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever:”

Take advantage of the Christian counseling services available so that you can turn from whatever is holding you back and allow you to move forward.

Having the necessary credentials and education will allow you to help those in need of good solid biblical counseling. It is so rewarding to know what your calling is and be able to fulfill that calling by becoming a certified Christian counselor.
