Rebuild Your Marriage Using
The Judeo-Christian Model of Peacemaking
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 more than 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.

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
Living in McLean, VA
Preface. If you are fighting or emotionally disconnecting as a couple, Dr. Newberger offers an alternative to traditional marriage counseling that works and couples appreciate.
According to NeighborhoodScout.com, “McLean [a suburb of Washington DC] is a medium sized-town with a population of 50,525. Because of many things, McLean 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, McLean really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is McLean 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.”
On a more personal note, one McLean VA resident stated, “McLean is the suburb of Washington D.C.’s diplomats, politicians, and government workers. It has one of the best education systems in the nation, but it is also one of the most expensive places to live as well. Tysons Corner holds the largest shopping mall in the state and everything is within reach. It’s the place you go to hang out with friends, catch a movie, or buy the latest tech. A couple of years ago, the Washington D.C. metro was extended to Tysons making day trips into the capitol convenient. Every summer, there is an event called McLean Day where kids go on the park rides and the adults catch up with each other. I have made many fond memories there during my middle and high school years. This place is perfect for people who want to settle down, have a couple of kids, and enjoy their life and it feels like a suburb in the truest sense.”
Said another McLean resident, “I enjoy the closeness of everything in the community; it’s very easy to get from your house to the grocery store, or even the park, in this area. There are also a lot of fun places to hang out with friends, whether it’s getting lunch or just walking around. McLean is a pretty busy area, but that’s also part of its charm.”
While McLean, VA offers many positives, the community is not immune to the marital stresses and challenges that plague relationships all over the country. The good news is Dr. Newberger offers Christian couples in McLean an effective alternative to traditional marriage counseling. If you are struggling in your marriage speak with him today.
