Title: Do You Want a Happy Home?
Series: The Divine Design (6 of 8)
Primary Scripture: Ephesians 4:29-32
Author: Pastor Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to Ephesians chapter 4. We want to talk today in our series, The Divine Design: God's Plan for Marriage and Family, about having a happy home.

It's this handsome prince and this beautiful girl, and somehow, they get together in these magical kind of situations. When the story closes, it always made you feel good, but it would end this way, "....and they lived happily ever after." I can remember watching cartoons, and they lived happily ever after.
