How is your family today? How is your marriage?
A family begins through the marriage. One day at a wedding celebration; when the wine finished the Lord Jesus changed water into good wine. And He wants to do the same thing in your family. What have you lost in your family? The love, the respect, the unity…The Bible says:

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 16:31

Here are seven reasons why families have been destroyed. If you have one or more of these problems you need spiritual help.

1) Fights – Constant fights wear out the relationship between parents and children and especially between couples.

2) Adultery – Infidelity causes the greatest damage to the family, because after betrayal trust is lost, and that affects not only the couple but the children as well.

3) Failure to properly care for the children– the lack of attention, discipline and interest in education lead children to not consider their parents as references in life, and they will end up finding friends in people that are not good role models to follow.

4) Mistreatment toward the wife– Many husbands are dominated by anger and jealousy; they mistreat their wives and their aggression is seen by the children who end up carrying hate inside of them.

5) Mistreatment of the husband – Women many times are responsible for the failure of their marriage because of their continuous mistreatment and indifference towards their spouse.

6) Financial problems – Not having enough money and unemployment, plus being full of debt ruins a family all at once.

7) Lack of communication – those who have problems communicating with one another tend to have fights and disagreements daily.

These problems in your family have to come to an end. A family that prays together stays together. Though they may be separated and broken now, we will pray together to bring peace and unity amongst you and your loved ones.

Join us this Sunday at every Universal Church for a strong prayer for your family.

May the God of the Bible Bless You
