Dave Havir - Helping People Build A Good Marriage

David Havir, focusing on the topic of helping people to build a good marriage, suggests that not only will those who experience the first resurrection have the joy of eternal life, but they will also have the privilege and responsibility of helping others and administering God’s Law and justice as priests of God and Christ. How well do we understand that concept (the Law of God and justice) right now as we lead our lives? How well do we reflect God’s law in our marriage? How well are we preparing our children and grandchildren to build a good marriage? Do we really understand the foundational principle of one flesh? Our ideal model of marriage was demonstrated by Jesus Christ, who sacrificed His life for His spouse—the Church. Dr. Robin L. Smith, in her book Lies at the Altar, identifies ten deleterious lies that erode and ultimately destroy marriages.
