Having a weekly family or even couple counseling session is very important but it is useless if you don't know how to have one. The purpose is to bring the family closer and to strengthen the ties that we have with each other and God. First, we need to have a set time and place to do it every week and never miss it. The place needs to be quiet and peaceful, not noisy and crowded. You also need to express your love and appreciation to the people in which you are counseling with before the meeting begins. Doing this will help if you don't agree on something. You will know that even though you don't agree, its not because you don't love each other but the other person just has some concerns. You need to pray to invite the Spirit and the main goal should be to truly discover what the Lord wants for your family. This will not be about bending or compromise but instead, truly discerning what you know to be best because the Lord has made it known to you both. It may have not been what you thought the answer would be but what you know is better and the best. Good Luck and you got this!!
