As bombs dropped and enemies threatened to take over his country, Britain’s prime minister, Winston Churchill, understood that the war would not be won by giving up the fight. Surrender is not an option if you plan to win. In a world where marriage is under attack by pressures outside and inside the Christian church, God’s people cannot abdicate. We have a responsibility to ourselves, to our world, and to our God to stand strong in our marital commitment. But how can we do that? Let’s take a look at what the Bible says we can do to bolster our marriages.

It’s a dangerous world out there! Every which way you turn, the culture, through the ever-present media, launches a new attack on our dedication to the biblical view of marriage. Pornography diminishes our passion for our spouses. Homosexuality demands equal standing in law and ethics as a new form of marriage. Individualism drives our already selfish natures into seeking our own good first before the good of our spouses and family. How can Christian marriages survive such onslaughts? Only through commitment. The good old-fashioned hard work of sticking it out!

Like giant containers of volatile gas, money must be managed with great care. Because most of us don’t have more than we need, we must be wise and faithful with what we have. Our tendency in marriage, however, is to procrastinate. “Tomorrow we’ll get organized,” we lie to ourselves and our mates. Or we try to maintain an unrealistic and impractical financial system which ultimately discourages us. No home can escape the clutches of coin and currency—so we must learn how to implement wise policies of earning, giving, spending, saving, investing, and borrowing.

“The first nine years of our marriage were constant hand-to-hand combat,” admitted a husband. If the truth were known, not some but most marriages are marked by periodic skirmishes—and occasionally all-out war! Frequently, marital warfare occurs in the trenches of belligerence or moodiness or both. Some battles are night ambushes or surprise assaults. Others are cold wars of stoic silence. Cruel methods of torture are also employed: public criticism, fearful threats, intimidation, ugly sarcasm, and hateful remarks designed to put down one’s mate. Such tactics are popular . . . but wrong, because they are unfair and never lead to domestic peace. In this message, we will take a look at why couples fight, as well as the rules that can keep any fight clean, good, and beneficial.
