MARRIAGES THAT ARE RUSHING TO THE CEMETERY
Mankind will fall or succeed depending on how marriages go. if things go bad in marriages, it will go bad in other marriages.
it fails when people try to live together by their own rules rather than the rules of God.
The breakdown of marriages has had tragic influence on mankind. When there is marriage failure, homes break up, loyalty of the
children are divided, the dreams of the bride and bridegroom are shattered.
Marriages can be a heaven on earth provided you follow Gods rules. These days a lot of christian marriages are in trouble.
Let us consider why and look for a solution before its too late.
