Study Notes
A Theological Primer for Biblical Marriage Counseling
- This is a primer for biblical marriage counseling
- It focuses on a theological approach to marital issues
Introduction: Solution Focused or Soul-u-tion Focused?
- It presents a case study of a couple (Travis and Britney) struggling in their marriage
- Common theme 1: They struggle to communicate effectively due to miscommunication.
- Common theme 2: They struggle due to misunderstanding about roles and responsibilities in marriage.
- The couple's issue is more profound than simple communication-there's a heart issue
- Their training has become an effective tool for manipulation
Having been placed on the witness stand...
- Britney and Travis have differing perspectives on their marital issues: Travis views marriage through a self-sufficient lens, using communication skills to manipulate, while Britney feels justified in her approach because it's biblical.
- The notes and analysis reveal flaws in Travis and Britney's understanding of marriage:
- Miscommunication
- Misunderstanding each other's roles and responsibilities
- Their self-diagnoses and self-prescriptions are problematic
Glorifying God: Ephesians 1:1–23
- The marital narrative should be about glorifying God, not self.
- Biblical marriage counseling shifts the narrative towards God's purpose, not merely personal satisfaction.
Guilty before God: Ephesians 2:1–3
- We are totally depraved, self-centered, and objects of God's judgment.
- Emphasizes the absolute need for God's grace and our helplessness without God.
Seeing the Gospel-Centered Marital Foundation in Ephesians
- Ephesians 5:21-33 is a common focus in marriage counseling but is not the correct starting point
- Counsel should begin in Ephesians 1:1–23.
- Marriage is for glorifying God and His grace.
Shame, Blame, Claim, and Maim
- These are relational sins in marriage.
- They all stem from a focus on self rather than God.
Exposing the Marital Log In My Eye
- Couples often come from a place of hurt and blame, focusing on the log in the other person's eye, instead of the beam in their own.
- Crucial to self-examination so the focus is not just on their spouse but on their role as well.
- Counselors need to help couples "look at the plank in their own eye".
