The Number One priority of our lives should be to daily strengthen our marriage and family. Everything else is secondary. Everything else must surrender to the priority of our marriage, home, and family.
However, families are in such disarray today that we cannot hide our head in the sand and only think of ourselves. We must also think of hurting marriages and how we can help them. We are our brother's keeper. We can get so used to marriages breaking up that we think nothing of it. But, we cannot take it sitting down. Especially if it is someone close to us, we must do everything in our power to encourage them to stay together. We must speak up even if we are disliked for it. You are fighting, not only for their marriage, but for their precious children who will be affected forever, and for generations to come. Generations are at stake (Nehemiah 4:14)!
You can also strengthen families by sharing the Above Rubies magazine with friends. It is filled with testimonies to encourage marriages and families. You are on the Above Rubies Facebook, but perhaps you don't even receive the Above Rubies magazine! This is how Above Rubies began--a magazine to encourage and strengthen marriage, motherhood, and family life. I have been producing this magazine for over 35 years! And you don't have a copy yet? Help!
