Marriage is a covenant sealed by YHWH. It is not to be entered into lightly. The purpose of marriage is not happiness. Of course, that is often a byproduct along with other joyful benefits. No, the purpose of marriage is to refine and to sanctify- to transform two into one. Whether you have been married for one year or for twenty years Vine Christian Counseling is here to support you.

In the USA we have developed an impoverished mindset for our elders. They often become lonely, depressed and anxious because children/grandchildren don’t visit; they experience chronic body pain, friends dying, a decline in abilities, and a sense being invisible.

Vine Christian Counseling provides mental health care that can include family counseling in addition to individual Counseling.

Important information when helping the elderly:
