This year my husband Greg and I celebrate our 48th Valentine’s Day as a married couple. After being married that long, you realize that neither you nor your husband are the same people you were initially. For a marriage to grow strong and healthy, each person has to change to meet the other’s needs. Doing this is not easy, but here are five lessons that have helped me over the better part of the past five decades:
Any political vision that treats marriage and family as optional or fungible, even if it goes by the label “conservative,” is destined to fail. This isn’t a matter of updating our definitions. If we lose our belief in marriage and the family as the foundation of a healthy and flourishing society, there will soon be very little left for “conservatives” to conserve.
A new study found that religious marriages are less likely to end in divorce because religion tends to discourage cohabitation, a known risk factor for divorce.
Pop singer and professing Christian Justin Bieber and his wife, supermodel Haley Bieber, recently revealed on a podcast that they almost ended their marriage its first year.
According to a new survey, the number of Americans who believe that high numbers of marriages contribute to the bettering of society has dropped.
In a recent interview, Chip Gaines shared that despite facing "trials and errors" in their relationship, he and his wife, Joanna, never considered divorce as an option.
A woman in Kenya reported left her husband to "marry" the Holy Spirit. The woman held an official wedding ceremony in an Anglican church.
An Arkansas couple just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. When asked what the key to having a long-lasting marriage was, the pair credited forgiveness and their faith in God.
During her talk at the Wilberforce Weekend, author Rebecca McLaughlin asserted that a woman's highest calling is not getting married and having children but following Jesus.
My wife often reminds those she teaches that a strong marriage is the best example we have of the kind of relationship God wants us to have with him. His word likens the union of husband and wife to the union of “Christ and the church” (Ephesians 5:32).
