READ: Proverbs 14:26
I believe with all my heart that happier families are where God is the center. Blessed are those relationships where people love one another in the same way in which Jesus loves them. I often tell couples that a healthy marriage and a healthy relationship are like a triangle. The bride and groom are at opposite ends of the base of the triangle, and God is at the peak. As they move together toward God, they will invariably move closer toward one another. God is the foundation upon which family life stands. What would happen if you and every member of your family truly decided to put Jesus first? I am not talking about doing religious stuff, but what if you started to truly take on the life of Christ? What would happen if every member of your family centered their lives in Jesus Christ? I would submit to you that families, people, and relationships would be drawn closer together, because the closer you walk with Jesus, the closer you will walk with each other. There are all kinds of issues in family breakdowns and break-ups. There are relational problems, communication issues, peer issues, money issues, and how you were raised issues. Rarely do we think our family or marriage problems are soul problems or spiritual in nature. But almost always they are. The closer you walk with Jesus, the more you do life the Jesus way, the stronger and healthier and better your family will be.
