When the "Honeymoon" phase is over...
The fairy tales make it all seem so easy. Finances, sex, work, family, and every other issue that can amplify our differences and weaknesses, do. This is so hard sometimes! But God, by His great love for us in Jesus, is the One who loves our marriages and champions our vows. Sometimes pastoral and/or professional counseling is needed. These services may help you as a couple, or alone, and may support you and show you God’s grace and truth for your marriage.
There are many good books out there help you see new possibilities for your marriage.
