More and more I’m seeing couples coming for counsel. There are some who come individually and then it leads to the spouse accompanying them. I’ve always “known” that one of Satan’s primary focus is marriage. God created man and woman for one another. Of course Satan wants to destroy what God created. There is an immense amount of evidence all around us of Satan’s destructive lies. However, when I see this in the counseling room I begin to do more than know Satan’s attacks–I experience them and hear them from those hurting.

Several months ago I had a lady come for help. It turned out she and her husband have been married for over 30 years. She finally had enough of his belittling remarks and wanted help. She was being hurt, but she was timid about letting her husband know how much his talk hurt her. It took many weeks for her to finally see she had a part in this hurt. She needed to see her own responsibility. Well, as only God would have it, her husband came by himself yesterday. It was a very healthy session where he, on his own, saw and spoke his problem/need. Both are christians serving God in their own way, but not doing so in the home.

It is a joy to see God’s Light penetrate darkness putting a sword to Satan’s selfishness he wants each of us to proclaim whether we see it or not. God is amazingly GOOD!
