Thoughts on Marriage

Peter Dubbelman
Administration/Family Life Pastor

Nobody gets married with the intent of their family falling apart. But a lot of them do! Why?

Most sensible people, when asked if they would prefer a happy and fulfilling family life or a prosperous career would pick the former. Yet their actions show a preference for the later. They apply themselves diligently to their job, take refresher courses and put in extra hours, often at the cost of a relationship with their spouse and children.

Life’s constant and unexpected demands can unmercifully rob us of valuable family time. Our families are not something that can be continually put on auto pilot. The foolish person that does may soon be flying into a mountain of disappointment and hurt.

If you are married, please consider attending one of the two marriage seminars our church is promoting.

Festival of Marriage: October 24-26 in Asheville. Please contact Holly Ladner @ 567-2699 for more details.

Seeing Your Marriage through the Eyes of God: February 28 at ABC. Please contact Peter Dubbelman at x228 for more details.
