Abstract

This study develops and applies a model for counseling separated couples. Called the Reconciling Steps Approach, the model seeks marital reconciliation of physically or emotionally separated couples through a process of counseling steps. The author envisions that this model will be used primarily for counseling married couples who are part of the Christian faith community. The first chapter describes a theoretical foundation for multi-modal, action-oriented counseling controlled by the Christian world-view. The second chapter explains the biblical and theological core convictions of the model and how these convictions guide the steps. The third chapter encompasses a literature review. The final two chapters apply the reconciling steps approach to the counseling of one separated couple as a pilot study, including an in-depth description of the couple, the specific treatment plan and strategies for reconciling steps, and the actual therapy and progress.
