A Successful Failure, part 2

Last week we embarked upon an urgent concern surrounding family success or failure. The point was made by defining success as "fortune" and failure as a careless regard for the original institution. Marriage and family failure has reached epidemic proportion in today's society.

There are many families who have a sincere concern for marital maintenance or marriage recovery. The major cause of marital failure is the lack of respect for, or the understanding of, the marriage institution. Since marriage originated with God, it is reasonable to assume that God must always be in the marriage. A loss of respect for the creator and originator of marriage is a sure recipe for a marriage failure.

The best approach to marital maintenance or recovery is to establish or renew your relationship with the Creator. Trust Him to begin the process for full recovery to a normal, healthy marriage.

Marriage is something that will influence and affect your life both in this world and in the life to come. A sincere partner will not advance his plans in the direction of marriage without the knowledge that God approves his course. Weigh every sentiment and watch every development of character in the one with whom you are thinking of linking your life destiny.

You may have a very successful marriage. A successful marriage is a happy one and breeds happy, successful offspring. Thus you are building a strong foundation for future success for many generations. Take the time to nurture your partner. It takes love, patience, and hard work to achieve true success in your marriage and family.

God bless you,
Pastor Jones
