Questions people ask
How do I pray for a hard marriage?
Pray for soft hearts before you pray for fixed problems. Ask God to start the work in you, not just in your spouse.
Is it biblical to fight for a marriage that feels over?
Yes, in most cases. God is in the business of resurrection. There are also hard exceptions for abuse and unfaithfulness. Get wise counsel.
What if only one of us wants to grow?
Then pray, soften, and walk faithfully. The Spirit moves through one person who stays close to Christ.
The lifeline is the answer
The Lifeline is two hands on a rope. The hand from heaven, and your hand reaching back. Watch the teaching, then bring this hard thing to it.
