We each took a few minutes to share our joys and concerns in our small group gathering which met recently. One man asked us to pray for two couples in his church who were going through some major marital problems."Those of us who know these couples never knew they were having these problems. They have been some of our strongest leaders in our church and their relationships are a real mess right now. Please pray for these couples that they might receive the spiritual help they need."
One of my responsibilities as a pastor is to provide pre-marital counseling for couples that will help them have a strong spiritual foundation with Jesus Christ at the center of their relationship.

I recently came across "My Marriage Coach," an online marriage resource that has been developed by Rev. Jay Tenney, pastor of Barnesville (Ga.) First United Methodist Church and is free of charge. Each couple responds to statements on the website that cover the topics of respect, vision, values, intimacy, faith, sacrifice, communication, finance, friendship and effort. That information provided is kept confidential and couples are encouraged to share the results of the marriage report with each other to help them build a strong marriage.
This online resource looks like it can be a valuable resource for a couple who is seeking to have a stronger marriage relationship.
