Healthy Marriages Start Here
Explore the fundamentals of this union with Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he describes the four biblical essentials of a thriving marriage.
Strengthening Your Grip on Leisure
If your work has become your all-consuming interest or your greatest source of identity, worth, and security, this lesson is for you. Though it may feel unnatural, sit back, put up your feet, and allow yourself to get a grip on leisure.
Seasons of Marriage
For the past 26 years during my journey with my wife Cornelia I’ve come to understand two very important elements of a strong marriage.
Principles for Marriage
Two principles for a happy marriage: severance and permanence. You must leave your old family for your new one, and you must stick with it.
Letting Them Go
How old is your child going to have to be until you think you can let them go out into the world? Here are some rules for letting your children go.
Let's Consult the Architect
The institution of marriage has fallen on hard times—divorce rates are soaring, men and women are testing the marriage waters by living together first, to say nothing about society’s attempts to redefine marriage to include same-sex couples. But marriage is a divinely designed institution, and if marriage is to thrive in an increasingly hostile culture then we must first consult the architect of marriage…God.
Take Time
Even the Creator of the universe took time for leisure. God made rest a priority and gave us a pattern to follow. How about you, are you taking time to rest?
Let's Repair the Foundation
Damage to a marriage can begin even before the vows. Among the greatest threats to a new union are the young bride and groom’s thoughts about what life with a new spouse will be like. Expectations often lead to broken dreams, as invariably, young couples fall into the trap of looking forward to a non-existent reality. However, there is no ideal marriage this side of sin. Instead, marriage promises a lifetime of two people striving together for maturity.
Getting Back on Target
We must recognize the Lord's original plan for marriage, take responsibility for how we've blown it in the past, and begin taking steps to get back on target.
