Divorce - Divorcio
Trash Your Marriage in Eight Easy Steps
Written by Sue Bohlin
The
divorce rate is at an all-time high, and marriages are falling apart
everywhere you look. Marriages of church-going people are crashing and
burning especially fast. There are forces in our culture that contribute
to marriage stresses such as pornography, the prevalence of drivenness,
two-career families, and the dynamics of the blended family. But people
also make foolish choices to destroy their marriages from within.
Talking about the family, Proverbs 14:1 says, "The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands." Ephesians 5:28 exhorts husbands to love their wives as their own bodies, nourishing and cherishing them. God's plan is that we treasure and cultivate our marriages, but it's very easy to trash them instead. Let's take a tongue-in-cheek look at eight ways that people trash their marriages.

It's Over Divorce. What thoughts and feelings does that word kindle in you?
Are you happily married and feel that divorce is not an option? Maybe the concept scares you. The fear of loss seems overwhelming.

Why Marriages Fail
Written by Kerby Anderson
Why do marriages fail? While the answers to that question are many, there is a growing body of empirical research to suggest there are four negative risk factors that create barriers to oneness in marriage and increase a couple's chances for marital failure.
I am going to look at these risk factors and see how they can be corrosive elements to oneness in marriage. Most of the material I will cover comes from PREP, which stands for the "Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program" developed at the University of Denver. The material was originally published in a book entitled Fighting for Your Marriage, and has been featured on numerous TV newsmagazine programs like "20/20." There is a Christian version of this material found in a book written by Scott Stanley entitled A Lasting Promise: A Christian Guide to Fighting for Your Marriage. Perhaps you have heard marriage speakers like Gary Smalley or Dave and Claudia Arp recommend this book (which should be available in your local Christian bookstore and is also available online at Amazon.com).
