Does happiness seem elusive in marriage? God’s purpose for marriage is our holiness. Yet in a time when divorce is so prevalent, how can we love like God wants us to love? In this message, we learn it’s never too late to take responsibility for our sins, communicate with our spouses, and forgive them as Christ has forgiven us.

The dark secret in all too many families is abuse. It takes several forms: verbal, physical, even sexual. The hurt caused by abuse is incalculable, both for the abused and the abuser. The devil seeks to destroy the family, especially the role model of the father. And the devil uses abuse to accomplish this goal.

In marriage, God often blesses couples with children. The Bible calls children “a heritage of the Lord,” and He speaks of them as “a reward.” Kids are a wonderful blessing but they can also be an immense challenge. We need God’s wisdom to navigate the uncertain waters of child-rearing.

The Supreme Court says the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional. There’s no doubt, marriage is under attack. Some say, “Why marry?” Living together is the new norm. In this message, Pastor Lutzer explains why the institution of marriage is so important, and why we have to honor the commitments we’ve made, as the vow says, “for better or for worse.”

In our culture, the line between the roles of men and women has become increasingly blurred. This results in many families with weak husbands or no husbands at all. Rising crime and divorce rates bear sad testimony to the absence of male role models. It’s vital that fathers lead their families in the right direction, because the next generation depends on it.

The family is under attack by the devil and our sinful culture, all determined to destroy marriage, your kids, and the moral values taught in the Scriptures.
