A Lasting Marriage

In today’s world, 50% of marriages end in divorce. Marriage no longer means anything. It has become just a contract that one can null and void if one is unhappy. It’s no longer a covenant relationship that we make with another person. There are no longer any lasting marriages. The author of the song Love Is Not A Fight said,

Love is not a place
To come and go as we please
It’s a house we enter in
And then commit
To never leave
Love is a shelter
In a raging storm
Love is peace
In the middle of a war
If we try to leave
May God send angels
To guard the door
No, love is not a fight
But it’s something worth fighting for

Marriage should be built on the principle of love. And love is not just a word; it’s a way we live. It’s the way we treat our children. It’s the way we treat our friends and family. Most importantly, it’s the way we treat our spouse. Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he sends forth the powerful message, A Lasting Marriage, because love is worth fighting for.

A Lasting Marriage

³And Pharisees came up to Him and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?” ⁴He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, ⁵and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? ⁶So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
⁷They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” ⁸He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. ⁹And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”
Matthew 19:3-9
