What is the condition of marriages in and outside of the Church?

Divorce in and outside the walls of the church is becoming more and more consistent. Follow this link for stats on marriages: Marriage. Within divorce, children are involved and are impacted by such a decision. We see children's view of marriage and the conduct of individuals within marriage compromised.
We are jumping into this sermon series with both feet. We are pulling out all of the stops to make sure that individuals can see through God's word that marriage is to be held with honor, commitment and protection.
There are too many affairs, broken homes, abused husbands / wives, and a contorted view of marriage, both in the church and outside the church to allow the household topic be ignored. That is one of the reasons why we are using the controversial title, "Desperate Households". This title is taken from the television series called, "Desperate Housewives" and this may cause eyebrows to raise.

Be sure to visit this site often. We will have resources, materials and other stuff that will be pertinent to our look at "Desperate Households". Also, be sure to leave comments, experiences and testimonies so that others may benefit.

Within marriage there are several components, husband, wife and possible children. These components help create an exciting, fulfilling, and purposeful life. The most important aspect is that individuals within the marriage have a relationship with Christ. If you remove any of the components (though very painful) an individual should still have intact a relationship with Jesus.

Here are the sermon topics you see in the month of June:
Desperate Husbands June 2nd
Desperate Wives June 9th
Desperation in the Bedroom June 16th
