Blinded by love and ignoring yellow caution flags of being absolute
opposites and not dealing with deep seeded trauma from childhood during
their 2 ½ year courtship, this Christian Northern California coupled
headed for the altar. Trouble began shortly after saying we do. 6 years,
wrought with unfaithfulness, self-centeredness, and neglect, this marriage
was headed for divorce court.
On a whim, the couple agreed to meet with Dr. Stan Ponz, who happened
to be doing a Discover Your Giftedness seminar at their home
church. After two hours with Stan, he had pegged a few of this couples
marital issues but needed much more time to deal with the deeper and more
destructive issues. The couple agreed to spend 4 days with Stan and his
wife in their beautiful home in the North Georgia Mountains.
Armed with the Word of God and a heart of compassion, Stan lovingly
confronted and admonished this couple with the absolute truths found in
God’s word. The blood of Christ and soon forgiveness found within
covered what once seemed insurmountable. For the first time in many
months, hope glimmered for this couple. That glimmer soon became a fiery
flame as the truths taught resonated within them and they made a
commitment to place God at the center of their lives and to lovingly stick
by each other no matter what.
We are grateful to the Lord for what we learned from the Word of God as
presented through the marital coaching of Dr. Stan Ponz.
