The LCS Factor

Unfortunately, more pray-reading, and going to more meetings was not the answer. In this way, the LC must be seen as complicit, but the extent of that complicity is not easily determined.

Hello OBW,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I am very happy that your marriage has survived and grown. Great news!

My arranged marriage failed - 17 years and 3 beautiful children later. In retrospect and as you have said, I believe with strong and sound counseling we could have worked through our problems and survived. We were immature in many ways and had no idea how much help was really available to us as a Christian couple from a larger Christian community.

Everything has turned out ok, but it wasn't easy. This is when you find out God's ability to heal the deepest wounds.
