Marriage And Family Survivor (4 of 4)
Secrets of Marriage Survivors

James 1:19
We're continuing our series on the family, the home, and the importance of the Christian home. In this day and age as we pointed out, it's really an accomplishment when you have a successful, happy marriage because of the number of people who are getting divorces and the number of homes that are truly unhappy. So it's important for us to know that God has a plan. This book is the greatest textbook on marriage and the family that has ever been written. We thank God for what He has given us in his Word. Here are three great suggestions.

The attorney said, "What is that your husband does that is so grievous that you would want to file for a divorce? Does he have a grudge?" She said, "No, he has a carport." He said, "You misunderstood. Does he have any grounds?" She said, "Yeah, about five acres." He said, "Lady, what is the problem in your marriage?" "Oh, he says we can't communicate." That's the problem in about 80 percent of marriages when they have problems. It even starts before you get married. A young man proposed to a young lady on their date. Later on he wrote her a letter. "I can remember proposing to you last night, but I can't remember your answer." So ...
