Book: Hope in the Face of Conflict by Dr. Ken Newberger

Introduction

Greetings. My name is Dr. Ken Newberger.  I hold a Ph.D. in Conflict Analysis & Resolution from Nova Southeastern University and a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary.  I am the author of Hope in the Face of Conflict: Making Peace with Others the Way God Makes Peace with Us. 
For twenty-five years, I have helped congregations and couples move from conflict toward peace, from hurt toward healing, and from distance toward genuine connection.  I have mediated conflicts within church boards, staff teams, and congregations, and have worked with more than 500 couples.  My overall approach combines a solid biblical foundation with the best of modern research.
If you are struggling in your marriage, there is hope.  See how I can help you find your way back to each other.

A Word About Christian Marriage Counseling

Christian marriage counseling integrates the truths of Scripture with proven principles of conflict resolution and relational healing. Rather than treating faith as irrelevant — or avoiding it altogether — Christian counseling views your faith as a powerful resource for restoring your marriage.

My approach is grounded in the Judeo-Christian model of peacemaking, that is, learning to make peace with others the way God makes peace with us. This model applies wherever conflict exists — including between husbands and wives. This is not merely theological theory. It is a practical process that works. In marriage, it helps couples:

  • Break destructive cycles of conflict, withdrawal, and resentment
  • Communicate with greater honesty, sensitivity, and compassion
  • Rebuild trust after a lack of transparency, dishonesty, or relational distance
  • Restore emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy
  • Develop a shared vision for the marriage God intended
The result is not just fewer arguments — it’s a stronger, more connected marriage than you may have thought possible. 
Toward this end, I offer couples in Great Falls and the surrounding areas a faith-based, goal-oriented approach to marriage counseling. My approach is grounded in biblical principles and conflict resolution research.
View my process in its entirety  and how it can help strengthen communication, restore trust, and deepen connection in your marriage.

Living in Great Falls VA


marriage counseling Great Falls VA According to Niche.com, "Great Falls is a suburb of Washington, D.C. with a population of 14,872. Great Falls is in Fairfax County and is one of the best places to live in Virginia. Living in Great Falls offers residents a rural feel and most residents own their homes. In Great Falls there are a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. Residents of Great Falls tend to have moderate political views. The public schools in Great Falls are highly rated."

According to neighborhoodscout.com, "Great Falls VA is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Great Falls really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Great Falls perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live."

One resident of Great Falls VA stated, "Great Falls is the perfect suburb to live in. It's about 30 minutes from Washington D.C and 1 hour from some scenic mountains in West Virginia. We also have the famous Potomac River Falls in our backyard. I love the community they have in Great Falls, there is always something going on in the courtyard of the plaza called "the Village", whether it's a small concert with barbeques or a farmers market. Every weekend, we have police cars setting up checkpoints to make sure people are making good decisions before getting behind the wheel. I've absolutely loved the last 11 years of living here and I cannot imagine myself living somewhere else."

Said another, "Great Falls park and river bend park are both good options for getting out and communing with nature. Great Falls park has a fairly spectacular waterfall, miles of hiking of various grades of difficulty, and a lot of good rock climbing routes. I've also seen kayakers braving the rapids below the falls. River bend park is more serene, and is good for picnics and has many hiking trails. There is a boat launch, and the calm river there is great for canoeing and fishing."

It should be noted that Great Falls is an expensive area compared even to other towns in Fairfax County. As another resident pointed out, "Great Falls is a very rich suburban community with beautiful homes.... Homes are incredibly expensive."

Great Falls is a comfortable place to live, but comfort has never been much protection for a marriage. The good news is, I offer Christian couples in Great Falls an effective alternative to traditional marriage counseling. It is shaped by Judeo-Christian principles and by years of research into what actually drives couples apart.  We name the source of the conflict honestly and work toward real reconciliation, not just a quieter standoff.  I work with couples in Sterling and McLean as well.  If things between you have grown distant, speak with me today.
