At The Narrow Path International Ministries, our Marriage Counselling program is dedicated to supporting couples in building strong, healthy, and God-centered marriages. We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God and that through faith, love, and mutual respect, couples can experience the fullness of His blessings in their relationship. We help couples build a foundation of love, respect, and mutual understanding through biblical guidance, practical advice, and heartfelt support. Our goal is to cultivate marriages that reflect the selfless love of Christ.
Mission and Goals of Marriage Counselling:
1. Strengthening Marriages:
- Our goal is to strengthen marriages by providing couples with the tools, guidance, and support they need to navigate the challenges of married life and grow together in love and faith.

3. Encouraging Mutual Respect and Love:
- Our counselling program emphasizes the importance of mutual respect, love, and sacrificial service within the marriage relationship, following the example of Christ’s love for the Church.
- Scripture: Ephesians 5:25: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.”
