Rebuild a relationship with the children. God intends that fathers and mothers be involved in teaching and training their children in His ways. Children further need the nurturing and caring, the correction and discipline, and the love and provision of their parents. Where separation has already occurred, this will be more limited, but the rebuilder must take whatever steps he can in the responsibility of loving his children and training them in the ways of God. Rebuild a relationship with the extended family.
Most marriage problems spill out into the larger family.
Alienation, hurts, and misunderstanding on the broader scale contribute to the problems in the marriage relationship. A rebuilder needs to take down the walls and rebuild the bridges so that the extended family is working together and praying together toward the restoration of the marriage. Even as pride often lies at the bottom of conflict, so humility is often the key to rebuilding. A rebuilder may need to confess his faults in brokenness and humility to rebuild such relationships, but it is that very humility which releases God's grace. Rebuild a relationship with the church.
