WHY MARRIAGES FAIL
Ephesians 4:15
... open today, to our scripture. Ephesians 4, verse 1 5;
"But speaking the truth and love, we are to grow up in all aspects unto
Him who is the head - even Christ."
Let's bow for prayer, together.
Father, we thank You for this service of music, tonight . . . for these

to build an intimate marriage. And the choice needs to be, I'm going to make this
choice, even though my mate may make a different choice. This is the choice, I'm
going to make. Now, I want everyone here tonight to picture that in your mind,
if you're marriage, see those three choices. If you're married and divorced, start
where you are, as you seek to ...
