eZine #58: Dealing with Your Baggage

Did you drag a trunk full of JUNK into your marriage?

According to our counsellors at the DFR Care Centre, the Number One challenge couples face in marriage is BAGGAGE—a person’s past issues weighing them down in the present. A marriage is only as healthy as the two people in it. Are you carrying around 100-lb bags stuffed with the hurts and disappointments of the past? Put them down and you will be amazed at how it lifts your marriage to a higher level. This month, we’ll help you deal with your baggage—sort out and unload any unhealthy weight you are carrying. You’ll learn how to forgive fully and freely and walk with God every step of the way through this journey. Let’s unpack! Read our feature article here: Baggage in Your Marriage
