PACO 615 WK 2 Discussion Hope Focused Marriage Counseling When the typical couple comes to martial counseling, they may have envisioned the death of their marriage through divorce. They are certainly evaluating their marriage negatively. It is important to instill hope in the couples as they engage marital therapy. The new hope-focused couple approach is a simple but effective plan to help couples. Faith, work and love all help guide the counseling through a difficult journey. The hope-focused couple approach has always been rooted in Christian principles and traditions. For some couples spiritual understanding, goals and strivings are an integral part of personal and relationship growth (Riply, J. S., et al., 2014). Some of my favorite Bible passages/verses that could be used to instill hope are as followed: Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you (Ephesians 4:32). Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16). Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another   in love.   3   Make every effort to keep the unity   of the Spirit through the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:2-3). Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  5  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil   but rejoices with the truth.     It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). Reference Ripley, J. S., & Worthington, E.
