I listened to this discussion on the radio this morning, and it's about this married couple who's having marital problems. The wife says that they should consult the pastor for spiritual guidance, but the husband says they should work things out between themselves. So, do you agree with the husband, or do you agree with the wife? What is your opinion on this?
....good question....let's it marinate.............................................................
I think that if she seeks spiritual advise her husband should go along with her. Therefore they can do the counseling together. The pastor may be giving one sided advice without hearing his side of the story.. If he doesn't go to church I have a problem with that because I believe in the whole equally yoked thing.
Well , this couple must make a compromise before their marriage is ruined.Obviously, working things out amongst themselves has not been working, so why not take that chance and get spiritual guidance??When youre married you should be willing to do what it takes to keep it from falling apart.I mean what does this man have to lose by getting help?!?
i believe that they should do both. If they can't handle the situation from communicating how they are feeling then they should most definitely seek spiritual counseling.
^^^ They've should have been seeking help from God in the beginning and maybe there wouldn't have been so much of a problem. :idea: I can see the man's concern about not putting his business out there....but I'm sure there are ways to go to the pastor without giving all the juicy details.
If they go to the Pastor against the husbands wishes, then it isn't a compromise.
Perhaps they should consider a marriage counselor instead. . .you know someone who doesn't know the family on a personal level.
Oh I forgot the basics:
A Woman's Definition of Compromise:
"Honey, we can handle the problem if you just listen TO ME."
:roll:
That's probably the reason their marriage is in a shambles anyway, she probably doesn't listen to him.
This is a good question...
I think they should talk amongst each other and try to come to some sort of agreement or compromise. If no solution comes out of that, I think they should both see their pasto for spiritual counseling. And if they really dont want their pastor or anyone in the church to know whats going on between them, they can always see a Chrstian counselor. they may be able to give the same help and advice as their pastor, while keeping their business between themselves. If I were in that situation, I would go to a Chrstian counselor, b4 I went to my pastor.
