With the trend of divorce in Christendom, it has become worrisome that some believers are fast changing the ancient landmark of God. However, we have also seen miracles work out in troubled marriages that appeared to be absolutely beyond repair. Over time, many couples have bounced back from a vast range of seemly irreversible problems such as unresolved conflicts, extra marital affairs, lack of intimacy, excessive quarrels, insufficient and ineffective communication, inadequate quality of time spent together due to busy schedules, suffocating partners, children issues, trial separation and many more complex and difficult situations.
