Marriage and Family

Question from a reader:

During the time of our marriage my wife and I were equally yoked. Today I have been striving and working harder to build a closer relationship with Christ, but my wife has chosen to do otherwise and I fear we are no longer equally yoked. I want our marriage to work and pray about it every day. I am trying hard to keep the family together. What should I do in this situation?

Working hard and making money to care for your family is a great and biblical thing. I did it, and I’m glad you are too. I also spent a lot of time with my kids. But of course, that’s NOT what I’m talking about.

This is wedding season and I'm sure a lot of you will be going to weddings over the next few months. If you're married, be sure to use this opportunity to think in terms of cultivating and preserving your marriage.

The first marriage had no paper license and no human community witness. God was the witness to the union of two souls.
