The idea of Christian abstinence rings is something that I personally don’t quite understand.  If you are truly living as a Christian then you know that you are to refrain from sin.  You know that there will be certain things that you will have to give up.

The Benefits of Pre Marital Christian Counseling
Pre marital Christian counseling is something that if you are a non married Christian that has someone that you are
planning to marry is a definite yes. As a Christian it is important to know that God absolutely hates divorce and once we
are married then we are to stay married until one or both deaths.
Any good pastor in your church will offer pre marital Christian counseling to you, if you ask and it may even be required if
you desire for that pastor to marry you. When you are dating, there are certain things that you may not have discussed or
known about each other. Often times you are so clouded with being in love and think you know things that you really do
not know. There will even be things that you think that you know that you know and can be completely wrong about.
Your pastor will be able to take you directly to the word of God and let you know exactly what the word of God says about
marriage and how it does or does not fit into your relationship. Your pastor will be able to be an objective outside party
and will get past the ‘being in love’ aspect. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit your pastor will ask the hard questions,
turn the mirror on yourself, and get you to see things the way that God see it.
Pre marital Christian counseling takes time. It is not a one or two month session, be willing to put forth the time. Many
times a full year of counseling is required by pastors. A lot can change within a year and allows you to see the changes of
your relationship. If you are planning on spending the rest of your lives together, then one year should be acceptable. It
could be the one year that will add an knowledge that God has brought the two of you together and not just your flesh.
Matthew 19:6
King James Version (KJV)
6
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
asunder.
When God has joined you together then you will know that divorce is not a option and when issues arise, you will go to
the Holy Spirit for guidance and direction. It takes the element of surprise out of the marriage and the two of you can be
children of God and have the marriage that God intended.
