Paul teaches that Spirit-filling plays out in a practical way in our personal relationships, keeping our lives from knocking down the things that are most important instead of building them up.

Not only does the husband enjoy his own sins, but he also gets to put up with his wife’s. Everybody loses! The ...read more

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 15, 2006

Successful marriages are built on: 1. Self-giving, rather than self-fulfillment. 2. Building each other up, rather than tearing each other down. 3. Continual growth, rather than taking the relationship for granted.

A Biblical Look At Divorce And Remarriage

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 10, 2001

This is a study of what the Scriptures teach on the subject of divorce and remarriage. The Church has failed to up-hold God’s design for marriage and has misled many by teaching the permission of divorce and remarriage under the New Covenant.

It is reported that one in two marriages end in divorce. What begins at a wedding ceremony usually with a minister, parents and friends increasingly ends in a courtroom with a judge, lawyers and strangers. The average marriage now lasts seven years. Fifty-five percent of all Americans say a ...read more

Finding Secuirty And Significance Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 16, 2003

When marriages crumble, we often hear people say that they just must have been “wrong” for each other. More often than not, being right or wrong for someone depends not on some mysterious compatibility quotient, but on how willing and able we are to help

It’s probably because as beautiful as marriage is, as set forth in the song we just heard, it’s also extremely challenging and can be pretty ugly at times. It was George Burns who said, “I was married by a ...read more
