It is with great concern that we share our firm conviction that the institution of marriage is about to descend into a state of turmoil like no other time in human history. The enemy is attacking marriage from different angles, with the ultimate goal being to destroy it completely. Marriage researchers have been warning of the threatening storm to which marriage is being subjected, a situation that is increasing exponentially. We could assume that this serious situation that marriage is experiencing does not concern Christian marriages. But when we look inside the Christian church, we discover that the marriages within the Christian faith are influenced by the enemy and suffer the same fatal consequences as those who do not live under the lordship of Christ and the values of the Kingdom. There is an urgent need to develop marriage ministry in local churches from a pastoral perspective that promotes the development and growth of happily married couples. This book, along with the second book, Biblical Basis of Marriage, will help you organize and lead an effective marriage ministry in your local church.
