Enjoy Family Life

Do you know any families that are as united and happy as those seen in this tract? families everywhere are coming apart at the seams. Divorce, lack of job security, single parents dilemmas, frustrations-all of these contribute to the crisis. An expert on family life lamented: " By now, predictions on the demise of the family are familiar to everyone.

Why are families today bombarded with such serious problems? How can we enjoy family life?

To answers those questions, we need to know the origin of marriage and the family. For if these had Originator-a Creator-family members should look to Him for guidance, since He would surely know the best we can enjoy family life to the fullest.

Interestingly, many believe that the family arrangement had no originator. The Encyclopedia American says: " some scholars are inclined to trace the origin of the marriage to pairing arrangement of animals below man and woman. " Yet, Jesus Christ spoke of the creation of man and woman. He quoted as authority the early Bible record and said: " what God has yoked together let no man put apart."

So Jesus Christ is right. An intelligent God created the first human and arranged  for happy family life. God brought the first couple together in marriage and  said that the man " must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh".

As you are no doubt aware, the modern world promote self-interest and self fulfillment. " Greed is healthy "., a financier told a  college graduating class. " you can be greedy and still feel good about your self ". But pursuing material possessions doesn't lead to success. Materialism,in fact, is one of the greatest single to family life because it gets in the way of human relationships and drains people of time and money. In contrast, consider how just two Bible proverbs help us to see what is important to happiness.
