FAMILY

Family is the most important structure of any society.It is not surprising  that the concern of  most young people today is who they will marry.the choice to enter a marriage lifetime is certainly the most important decision a person can make.Every family is a unique, with each marriage partner bringing experiences and values from his or her own.there is no such thing a perfect marriage "marriage made in heaven"there
are,however,biblical principles that.if followed,will help each family to be all GOD intended it to be.

First of all it is Foundation of LOVE.. If we truly love our  spouse and our children we would be willing to lay down our lives so that they might in some emergency situation.Love is proven,not just by words we say but also by our actions.

Second, is the foundation of respect. family member must show respect for each other even  there is problem on a particular  matter.This is where healthy communication plays an important role.

Third is the foundation of Commitment..No matter what happens, commitment is necessary for a family to survive.there are many voices I've heard from our  society that tells us if the marriage not working just get annulment or  divorce,but this thing is not the solution.GOD is the solution and ask help can be found through prayer.as a saying goes "If  family prays together stays forever."

SOME TIPS BEFORE YOU MARRY:

1.Be at Peace with  your own family.
2.Make loving GOD the first priority in your life.
3.Establish  clear career goals and the steps you will take to reach   those goals.
4.When you fall in love, use your mind as well as your heart.
5.Seek guidance and affirmation, friends  and spiritual leaders.
6.Commit yourself to sexual purity  until marriage.
