It is exactly for this reason that, as Christians, who we marry and how we live in marriage is of such great importance. Good Christian marriages are the God-ordained sphere where the future generation of the church is to be trained in the fear of the Lord. In the world we witness the ever escalating divorce rate. Recently I read that now almost two thirds of marriages in the State of California end in divorce. There is total disregard for God's holy ordinance of marriage.
Man lives in open and shameless fornication and adultery.
He enters marriage as though it is nothing more than a human and temporary arrangement. He breaks his marriage vows as he wills. Not only do men and women have their lives painfully torn apart but also children of broken homes are left with deep spiritual and psychological scars from the divorce of their fathers and mothers. Marriage and the home are the foundations of society. Therefore when one marriage after another breaks apart it creates havoc in society and in our nation.
