Conflict Assessment Tool

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on April 7, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 7, 2021avatar

I like assessment tools that are simple and not crazy complicated just to tell you something that you already know — marriage is going to have conflicts. I am a big believer in the 5 Love Languages, the 1 Corinthians 13 practices, and the assessment tool that I developed below, using the word FORGIVE as a guide to work through in your mind the potential areas of marriage conflict that likely lies ahead. It provides … Continue reading →

Premarital Counseling?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 28, 2019 by Steve DurkacJuly 28, 2019avatar

I do not require premarital counseling before I’ll officiate a wedding, but that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in it.
