​God created us to want to be with others as we are relational beings. With strong foundations given to us by God, He will help with a fulfilling relationship, and He understands how painful relationship problems can be for all involved.  Your Marriage Counselor in Houston, Texas will help you instill a biblical world view so the world around you feels like a better place. It is in our struggle that God helps build character.  In Romans chapter 5 verse 2 states, “Our faith guarantees us permanent access into this marvelous kindness that has given us a perfect relationship with God.  What incredible joy bursts forth within us as we keep on celebrating our hope of experiencing God’s glory.” But when those relationships struggle, everything crumbles around you. Unfortunately, most people do not realize that most fights within a relationship have no solution on their own.  It is a perpetual problem; most people keep fighting over the same problem, and the fights play out the same way. As a result, couples wait years to talk to a couple’s counselor or seek relationship advice. But God! In the same chapter of Romans verses 3-5 states, “But that’s not all! Even in times of trouble we have a joyful confidence, knowing that our pressures will develop in us patient endurance.  And patient endurance will refine our character, and proven character leads us back to hope.  And this hope is not a disappointing fantasy, because we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us!”  The truth is each person has personality differences, even if they are similar in what they like. When you understand the perspectives with the right communication skills, it helps to save relationships.  This, God created in us – in you!
