God s help to save your marriage is just a prayer away.

"God is there to help you," says one Christian marital counselor, "whether or not you asked him to help."

For people with strong religious convictions, the idea that God is helping them as they struggle to fix their relationship is a comforting one. Their faith gives them strength through the tough times.

Those who have not shared a close relationship with the Lord in recent years may not consider asking for help. Therefore, they are usually surprised to discover that local churches provide some of the best resources available.

Many churches have counselors who can provide spiritual, as well as practical advice to couples seeking to save their relationship.

Additionally, many churches sponsor encounter weekends or weekly support groups. These events provide networks of support to those wishing to save their marriage.

Some religious charities and non-profits offer marital counseling to those in need. Catholic charities is one such organization that provides counselors to couples trying to rescue their relationship.

Those not expecting to turn towards a church when embarking on the relationship repair journey are often surprised at how much churches can offer. Couples who make use of these resources liken the experience to "having Jesus in your corner." They appreciate having that kind of partner.
