Some Thoughts About Dealing With Marriage Problems

Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife (1 Corinthians 7:10-11). The above verse refers to a Christian couple who are having some serious challenges. These challenges are so serious in fact that they are considering divorce. Paul encourages them that as a Christian, they have the resources from

The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord (Proverbs 18:22-NLT). The family unit is the glue that holds any human society together. And marriage is the foundation of the family. If marriage loses its value, then that society is in danger of collapse. Marriage and family are God’s plan to pass values and morality from one generation to the next. As goes the family, so goes the nation. In our nation, we have more couples living together witho

What If I Am Married To An Unbeliever?

Now, I will speak to the rest of you, though I do not have a direct command from the Lord. If a fellow believer has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to continue living with him, he must not leave her. (13) And if a believing woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to continue living with her, she must not leave him. (14) For the believing wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the believing husband brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwi

Work On Strengthening Your Marriage!

And did not God make you and your wife one flesh? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why did God make you two one? Because He sought a godly offspring from your union. Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth (Malachi 2:15 -Amplified). God’s best for your marriage is that once you’re married, stay married for life. That is always God’s best. And yes, sometimes there is no alternative b

What About A Marriage Between A Christian and a Non-Christian?

But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart

In our nation, we have more couples living together in fornication and having children than ever before. And now, the U.S. Supreme Court has determined that mar
