BIBLICAL MEDIATION FOR MARRIAGES
Do you experience serious conflict in your marriage that is damaging to the relationship between you and your spouse? Or do you know of someone who is in such a position?
Johann Grobler's passion is making peace rather than unbridled fighting for a client in a court of law. For several years he has preferred not to do divorce work in his law practice.
In addition to his qualification as attorney and conveyancer, Johann also completed the Coniciliator Training Program of The Institute of Christian Conciliation in the USA in 1998.
Johann's interest is not only in the law of the land, but also in the Word of God.
In 2008 Johann obtained his Master's degree in Pastoral Studies with distinction at North West University in Potchefstroom. His dissertation was on Biblical Mediation as a Method for Reconciliation in Troubled Marriages.
Johann recently decided to pay more attention to biblical mediation for couples in conflict-torn marriages. His services are therefore available to couples living in the West Rand or surrounds, who respect God's Word, but who also experience the type of conflict described above.
Biblical mediation is not a psychological method. It is also not therapy. Nor does it involve demon exorcism. It is simply a safe platform where the parties can speak openly and honestly and be guided to identify the issues and find solutions to them in the light of the Word of God. The short-term objective is for the parties to sign a written agreement in which each undertakes to do certain things and to refrain from doing certain things.
This type of mediation is unlikely to be appropriate where either party is an alcoholic or has been addicted to drugs for more than six months.It can and should be very valuable for most other conflict situations that do not include alcohol or drug addiction. Many couples have already benefited from this.
