When Faith Gets in the Way of Healing…

Don’t stay in an unhealthy relationship because someone else says you should. When faith gets in the way of your healing, find help from an unbiased professional outside of the religious realm.

 

When trouble begins in a relationship, the first place many people turn is their church. Not to belittle the relationship people have between their pastor, minister, and rabbi, etc.

The problem I've noted throughout my career is that out of guilt, many men and women have a tendency to remain in unhealthy marriages. Sometimes the minister suggests that you stay in the marriage despite the repeated indiscretions or other unacceptable behavior of your partner.

Others stay because of guilt they feel because of the vows they took before God or whatever higher power they follow.

When your faith gets in the way of your healing, it's time to look for a more unbiased opinion. Don't stay in an unhealthy relationship because of your faith or for the sake of your kids.

Get help that will restore peace to your soul. Please know that I can help you.
