COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Spiritual advisers who have worked with Governor Mark Sanford have recommended that he work to improve his
marriage.

Sanford last week confessed a relationship with a woman in Argentina he met more than eight years ago.

He has resisted calls to resign as the fallout from the affair grew, particularly after a long interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday.

He says he's been in a struggle between his heart and his value system.

Sanford said he has a love for his wife, their sons and his farm.

Warren Culbertson has been counseling the Sanfords since Jenny Sanford discovered the affair in January.

Culbertson says if the governor works hard, the couple can find greater love.

The Reverend Gary Chapman, who wrote "The Five Love Languages'', agrees.

Chapman says a faded love can be reborn, with work and time.
