Conservative on Marriage


In a year when the far Left won the Presidency and many Congressional seats, traditional marriage won in California. Voters in our largest and perhaps most liberal state voted overwhelmingly to ban same sex marriages. This was a very strong defeat for the gay rights movement nationally and a message that marriage is important to our society. (See the story here.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122586056759900673.html)

I suggest that every church in the land preach, teach and hold seminars on the importance of marriage and family life. Not just as a way to resist the radical ideas of the gay lobby. The primary focus needs to be on developing strong marriages and helping them be healthy for the adults and children.

We know how to keep marriages together and we know how to destroy them. Learning to communicate, solve problems and deal with differences are crucial to all successful relationships but is especially critical to building a successful and happy marriage. This requires more than lectures and preaching. A couple needs to learn the skills of listening and understanding one another.
Get my book, Listening for Heaven's Sake and learn how to develop more love and understanding.
