How to make your Christian marriage last…
“I was in the middle of an 18 month fight for my marriage. I had reached the end of my rope. We had burned through a handful of counselors, and I was walking on eggshells in my own house. I was balancing what my kids and my friends needed to know or not know. I was living sleepless nights. Every conversation was exhausting. Every situation had to be assessed and measured. I asked my counselor this question, and his answer was perfect. I said, Steve, how long do I have to fight? When can I give up? I’m exhausted. And he said, Todd, I want you to fight until you can’t fight any longer, till you can’t crawl one more inch. Then I want you to go one more mile.
Great Marriage Advice
Of all the advice I have received in the last six plus years, this was the best one, and I want to give it to you. I have run into far too many single people who are struggling with wayward children, who sit in a lonely apartment with shattered finances, who remarried too quickly. They all live with this regret. The little nagging thought, should I have toughed it out? Should I have given it one more chance? Should I have put in the work while I was married? Let me promise you, divorce has its consequences. It ‘s not the easy way out. You will question it all a thousand times. Your best bedfellow is peace, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that you gave your marriage and its restoration its best chance.”

Considering a Divorce?
Your decision to file for divorce is a HUGE one. One that affects you, your spouse, family members, kids, possibly your work, living situation, church, friends, LOTS. Let's take a deep look.
Divorce can leave you feeling like a shattered vase, the pieces of your life scattered and unrecognizable. The idea of “starting over” can feel overwhelming, even impossible, when you're still grappling with grief, anger, and confusion. But starting over isn’t about pretending the vase is whole again overnight. It’s about carefully gathering those fragments and deciding what you want to create with them. It’s about building something new, even if it's imperfect.
Divorce, even when amicable, often leaves a residue of difficult emotions. Among these, shame can be particularly debilitating. Shame whispers that you’re flawed, a failure, or unworthy of love. Understanding and addressing this shame is crucial for your divorce recovery journey.
The first 90 days after a divorce are often the hardest. The legal battles might be over, but the emotional ones are just beginning. You're navigating uncharted territory, feeling a mix of relief, grief, fear, and maybe even a little bit of excitement. This survival guide is designed to help you not just get through these initial weeks, but to start building a foundation for a brighter future.
