Before countries, cities, neighborhoods or churches God instituted marriage and being that satan is always trying to sabotage everything that God holds dear is no surprise that he is attacking marriage in this days.
According to the latest statistics divorce is on the rise, in these times it is much easier to submit an application for divorce that fight to save a marriage. The average length of a marriage is seven years, and one of every two marriages ends in divorce. What is alarming about this is what happens after the divorce. The divorce causes trauma to the two affected and in case of having children these are affected even more. According to the writer Jeannette Lofas only 45% of children outgrow satisfactorily the divorce of their parents. The divorce of a couple brings pain to their loved ones and many times it creates wounds that are impossible to heal. One of the reasons that divorce causes pain in children is that at least one of the parents will give them less attention and in many cases this will happen on the part of both parents. Divorce also causes fear among those who have experienced with their loved ones and this is one of the main causes of the increase of civil unions. What is the key to avoid all of this?
The Bible states that the first institution was marriage, the family and that is exactly what Satan wants to destroy. The key to a lasting marriage is to make a essential part of it the one who instituted it. When you find someone that you know is faithful to God is much more possible that they may be faithful to us. The Bible says that God has to be the one who builds our projects and who the one to protect the,, and the marriage has to be a lifelong project. If you're not thinking of getting married I would recommend that before looking for a spouse you look for God, if you're thinking about getting married asks God to the build your marriage and if you are already married I would like to ask you who saves your marriage?
In this times the institution of marriage is becoming fragile, it is hard to find young people committing to marriage. I usually read an entertainment magazine once a week, the magazine features news of marriages and divorces, I'll have to say that in the last two years I have seen far more divorces that marriages and when I do see marriages it usually see far more gay marriages than man and woman marriages. We have to learn to build our marriage on the solid rock, not in sand.
