How to help your marriage

The following statistics show that the best thing you can do to insure the success of your marriage is to concentrate on your shared spiritual life:

Divorce Rates:

for couples who live together before marriage 76%
for all couples 50%
for couples who attend church regularly 34%
for couples who read the Bible together daily - about 1%
for couples who pray together daily - less than 1%


Also in today's message I mentioned a couple of books that I and others I have counseled have found helpful for their marriage as they seek to carry out the mandate of 1 Peter 2:1-7. In case you can't remember the title here they are with links to Amazon.com in case you want to order a copy.
