At Maranatha Family Counseling we believe marriage exists to reflect the relationship between Jesus Christ, and people he died to rescue from sin and brokenness. It is to be a picture on earth of the love that a holy God has for us. This means marriage was meant to bring joy and redemption. But, we are sinners who marry sinners, so for marriage to work well, it requires confession and forgiveness as each person becomes more like Jesus. Our goal is to help couples strengthen their relationship by understanding God, and by improving their relationship with Him.
In marriage counseling sessions we help couples work towards honest communication, humility, forgiveness, and wise boundaries. We encourage reconciliation and healthy interaction, while acknowledging the deep scars and pain that can make marriages difficult.
Occasionally, we also offer conferences and events in order to invest in marriages in the greater Dayton area. Check our webpage for the next marriage building event.

- Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller (book)
- Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas (book)
- Marriage Matters by Winston Smith (book)
