"You Do Not Have A Marriage Problem That God Cannot Fix"
If the Spirit of God raised Jesus from the dead, then He can certainly resurrect a dead marriage.  

However, they typical 1-hr session approach doesn't work, you need an Accelerated Marriage Counseling approach (AMC).

             Emptying your partner's negatively filled emotional kettle caused by past hurts (Marriage Skills #32, 33) will draw them closer to you than they have ever felt before -- if you empty it God's way (Isa. 55:9). This is actually true whether you believe it or not. So if you don't believe it, borrow some of my faith. I have seen it happen over two thousand times. By addressing and resolving past hurts, couples often feel closer to one another than they ever did before.

            Three orthopedic surgeons have told me that a broken bone set correctly will grow back even stronger in the place where it was once broken (at least initially). Likewise, resolving past hurts will grow you closer to your partner than you ever were before (at least initially and if done correctly). This is one significant reason God allows us to go through painful situations in our marriages. It is the healing of these hurts, and the understanding that comes with it, that actually grows us closer.

            I often ask couples to rate their closeness level on a 1-100 scale before we start counseling. I do so by asking them to think of the time that they actually felt the closest to their partner: the day they met, became engaged, married, had their first child . . . However close they felt that day we will give a score of 100. Remember, 100 may not even be all that good; it's just the closest they have yet experienced.

            At the end of our 18-hour Accelerated Marriage Counseling or 2-Day Marriage Clinic, I then ask them to again rate how close they feel to their partner on the same scale. About 90 percent report they are in the 90's. Of those 90 percent, about 25 percent rate their closeness even higher than 100, claiming to feel even closer than they ever have before. It is interesting to me that, when people do not score higher than 100 percent, it is almost always because they did not completely empty the emotional kettle.

            Healing hurts draws you closer to your partner. Why? That's what we will address next in Marriage Skill #35.
