1. THREE TYPES OF FAMILIES

The first type of family follows God's Will and they work as a single-mind or a unified team always looking out for the benefit of others. This family shall not fall; for they have no secrets from each other nor are they divided in any way. ...The second type of family stays together but they do not work together nor do they have a single mind. Accordingly, many internal conflicts arise and the family does not funtion effectively or efficiently; but the smallest chores are a huge burden and the bigest tasks get left undone altogether. The third type of family splits apart in divorce or separation (if they were ever joined together in the first place). And no one ever learns the true value of a healthy family (except in rare and extraordaniry circumstances). And because this is much more the norm these days, our children will never learn how to function as a family. Hence, divorce becomes more and more prevalent. And now, most people do not even get married.

2. THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT

God which made them at the beginning made them male and female. And said for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they two shall be one flesh. Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. And what God hath joined together let no man put asunder. And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help suitable for him. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud not one the other (don't withhold sex from your spouse), except it be with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency (unrestrained lust or passion). ...Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. ...Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter to them. The head of every man is Lord Jesus; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Lord Jesus the Christ is God. ...Man is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman or the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man by the woman; but all things of God. Though man is the head, it does not mean that he is always right nor does it mean that he is the boss in every situation. For the son of God listens to his Father's voice Whose Spirit dwells within him. And the son of God knows his own strengths and weaknesses as does he know his wife's. And if she be better with the money, then she becomes bookkeeper. And if she be better at spotting deals in the market, then she be the main purchaser. If cooking, then she shall cook. If she be better with the numbers, then she shall do the budgeting. Know each other's strengths and weaknesses and plan properly for the most family effectiveness and efficiency. Most importantly, both the husband and the wife will always look to God for the answers to all disputes, for He alone is perfect and worthy of true judgment. Most people spend more time planning their wedding celebration and honey-moon than they spend knowing God's laws and guidelines regarding marriage. Accordingly, most marriages fail.

3. THERE IS NO MARRIAGE IN HEAVEN

Then came the Sadducees which say that there is no resurrection and asked Him, saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were with us 7 brethren: and the 1st, when he had married a wife, deceased, and having no children, left his wife unto his brother: likewise the 2nd also, and the 3rd, unto the 7th. And last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the 7? For they all had her. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Likewise, there are no true soul mates that meet here on earth and then are joined again in heaven for all eternity; but we shall all receive our own crown of glory in the eternal paradise of GOD!

4. SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE

There is no such thing as sex before marriage There is no such thing as sex before marriage because sex causes marriage in that it completes the marriage. Once you poke, you elope. The Hollywood entertainers have, unfortunately, desensitized this generation into thinking that sex is some casual pleasure that we should all seek endlessly. But hasn't anyone noticed that at first God sent crabs and viruses and then when we rebelled and ignored Him, He sent herpes and permanent viruses, and now that we've ignored Him and even caused our children to accept the abominable doctrine of homosexuality, He sent Aids which is a deadly disease. And now that we've ignored Him in this final warning, what shall He do but cause that an end should come upon this entire untold generation. For we know that the end draweth nearer and nearer. Note also that the school system is no help as they pass out condoms and teach our children safe sex and homosexual sex. This is done to make a pretense of help for the children in that we save them from deadly diseases. But why not teach them God's laws and how to abide; and then the deadly diseases will have no affect. Also know that your child is entitled to 2 parents, but many selfish women are only looking for the seed of the man without the man. But because she can not get along with men, shall her child suffer for her mistake as the child grows up without a man? If you can not get along with men, likewise men with women, then you should also not be raising a child because this anger and inability to compromise will be passed down to your child.

5. WOMEN AND MEN

They say, Women are from Venus and men are from Mars Truth is: All men and women are from God though some are born of the flesh and some of the Spirit. God which made them at the beginning made them male and female. And said for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they two shall be one flesh. Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. And what God has joined together let no man put asunder. And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help suitable for him.

MEN AND WOMEN ARE FROM GOD.

Though the woman was taken from the man and therefore of the man, the man is by the woman. Nevertheless, neither is the man without the woman or the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man by the woman; but all things of God. Man and woman are designed to suit each other perfectly, but the further we get from God's way, the more and more tension builds up between the two of them to the point that they hardly seem suitable for each other at all. Even though Satan has set up all these battles between the sexes, it is not God's will that man and woman can not get along. God created man and woman specifically designed to be suitable for each other. Hence there should be no battles between the sexes. For all these things are vain to the children of God, for the husband and wife are one flesh. Any house divided will fall. And it is not God's Will that any of His children should fall and perish, but live abundantly forever. Yet if one desire to stay single and celibate, then let God's Will be done. He who is free from taking care of a wife is also more ready to serve God night and day, always ready to lend a hand to the brother who is over-burdened or take in some of the homeless children; likewise women who desire to devote themselves as full-time servants. And if either shall stumble along the way, we know that our Father is the One Who loves to forgive those who repent from the heart and bear fruits of humility.
