MARRIAGE & PARENTING

In April we will be married for 35 years. We agree with Ronald P. Hutchcraft: The number one secret of great parenting is to make sure you are keeping your marriage promises. God provides a direct linkage between your marriage and your children.

What does (the Lord) want? Godly children from your union. So guard yourself in your heart; remain loyal to the wife of your youth. Malachi 2:15 NLT

The connection between a thriving marriage and thriving children should come of no surprise to anyone. The overwhelming evidence supports what God is communicating here: Do you want great children? Remain loyal to your wife, and guard your heart. You can easily make a case to support the antithesis of this: Do you want your children to turn out poorly? Don’t be loyal to your wife, and don’t guard your heart. Source: Designer Marriage by Ronald P. Hutchcraft

Pray for marriages and parents in Namibia.
  • This week-end there is a marriage seminar at The Rock Lodge with 40 participants - pray for them. Prayer for the presenters.
  • Sunday I will share on protecting you marriage here in Windhoek - couples need your prayers. Protect marriages by your prayers.
  • The next generation is in need of prayers - marriages are under attack.
To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty,
says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
So guard your heart; do not be
unfaithful to your wife.
Malachi 2:16 NLT
