Is there hope for my marriage?

We often get this question when trying to help couples struggling in their marriage.  Our answer?  Yes!  That's why we believe in "happily ever after."  Listen to the words of Philip Yancey:  "...most fairy tales have a happy ending.  That old instinct, hope, billows up.  Like life, fairy tales include much struggle and pain, yet even so they manage to resolve in a way that replaces tears with smiles."  Are there struggles in marriage?  Struggles in life?  Of course!  But given the right tools, giving a little time and effort, and allowing God entrance into a marriage, it  goes from the hard work of staying together to the fine art of "happily ever after" turning your tears into smiles.
