The Church
"CHURCH"
There are only two institutions on earth that were created by God. The first institution was marriage. The second institution was the Church. These two were created to compliment one another. Couples and families have great responsibilities in serving the church. Each local church has a great responsibility to couples and families.
Churches that promote and provide for marriage and family health prosper. Churches that offer nothing to the family usually die. Local churches must preach and teach on marriage and the family often. Titus 2:2-8 teaches that the older men and women of the church should teach and train the younger men and women of the church. This is not being done in very many churches. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why marriages within congregations are ending too often in divorce. Then the reputation of the church suffers along with the suffering children caught in the middle. Churches need to offer expert Christian, biblical, counseling. Most pastors are very capable of marriage counseling but it is often too big a liability and time consuming. Churches need to equip couples and families with God’s agape (divine) love. Teaching and preaching on true love, commitment, forgiveness, parenting, spiritual bonding, and faith are essential. The church needs to guide these couples and families in daily devotional studies and provide fellowship with other mature Christian couples and families.
The Christian couple and family also need to be faithful to the church in attendance, tithes, offerings, prayer, and service. Couples and families who never attend or drop out of church are far more likely to become miserable or divorce. Hebrews 10:25a, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another." Without this mutual support between couples, families, and the church, neither prospers nor functions very well.

That rss option on your website here is splendid, you should tell people about it in your upcoming post. I haven’t noticed it a first, now I’m using it each morning to check on any updates. I’m on a really slow dial-up connection in Kentucky and it’s quite hindering to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
