The Beauty of Love:
The question is asked, “Is there anything more
beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands
and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be
anything more beautiful than young love?”
And the answer is given. “Yes, there is a more
beautiful thing. It is the spectacle of an old man and an
old woman finishing their journey together on that path.
Their hands are gnarled, but still clasped; their faces are
seamed, but still radiant; their hearts are physically
bowed and tired, but still strong with love and devotion for
one another. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than
young love. Old love.”

For the man and woman who make the decision to share and build a life together through marriage the promise is “till death do us part”. We see through the high divorce rate in our society that many couples part ways and do not fulfill their vow. There may be many different reasons that contribute to the end of their marriage. CounselingWorks provides pre-marital counseling and hopes to help couples identify potential problems before they are married, learn how to effectively communicate and understand one another’s needs and prepare them with the tools to help resolve conflicts. In addition to pre-marital counseling CounselingWorks also provides marriage counseling for those who are striving to keep the promises they made to one another.
If you are interested in pre-marital or marriage counseling please contact our CounselingWorks office at counseling@christian-works.org.
