I know you've said this before, Lewis, but I guess it didn't hit me til I looked at that Seppi family blog. These people worship marriage. It's like a huge idol that they've place in a prominent place in their homes and lives. Everything they do or say is through the lens of "godly marriage". They place more emphasis on marriage than they do anything else! What a limiting view of life with Jesus!<br /><br />I know their stated reason for this: that the church is sorely lacking in solid teachings on marriage and thus we have some sort of crises and lack of godly families. But I honestly don't think this is the problem. My husband and I have never gone to marriage classes. We never even did pre-marital counselling. I read marriage books occasionally but he never has. What makes our marriage great is not an emphasis on "godly marriage" in our home. *It is an emphasis on our individual walks with the Lord.* When we ignore our personal relationships with God, our marriage suffers. When we are nurturing our personal relationships with God, our marriage thrives. A godly marriage is the result of people who walk with God. Not people who "do" marriage perfectly biblically. Or make marriage their god.<br /><br />I'm NOT saying that marriages never need counselling or help, not at all! Just that the emphasis these people give it is....off somehow. :/Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702441292981376229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879552692521649812.post-32094065880109177642010-11-29T13:14:58.684-05:002010-11-29T13:14:58.684-05:00Quivers of Men is fantastic!
