I think this is wonderful that the Holy Spirit is sending someone your way for help. You carry the light of the Lord Jesus Christ which penetrates the darkness. If a person is not saved, then all they have is darkness, and this person reaching out sees Jesus in you. She needs help and you have the hope and help – Jesus! I have experienced something of this woman’s pain when a marriage is failing and no answers in how to fix it. Secular marriage counselors give secular answers that have no true foundation.

You be who she knows you are and that is the person she is reaching out to. The first step to this meeting is to be prayed up and go knowing what God wants. We know that our Lord wants all marriages to be whole and healthy. We also should know and understand Malachi 2:16: “For the LORD God of Israel says that He hates divorce.” I do not have room to go into all the reasons of the why in this Scripture, but if they have children, it causes great hurt, despair and scars in the children, whether the parents are saved or unsaved. I am talking in general of course.

People have many different reasons to get a divorce, but probably the most common is that they have simply grown apart and are going separate ways. So as you talk with her, just be yourself… which is that you are a new creation in Christ with a new way of thinking. The basis for all your decisions are found in the Word of God. Your friend must want her marriage to be healthy or she would not have called you, and that is a positive. Give her the foundation she needs to cause that to happen. His name is Jesus! The Holy Spirit will help you with the words.
