God will hold us accountable for the way in which we have disregarded the sacred institution He established for our first parents, an institution that, according to the Lord Jesus (note Mark 10:2-12,) continues to be operative until the end of time.Īnd what about the children who are brought into this world as the offspring of the union of a man and a woman within the bounds of marriage? Some time ago a newspaper article lamented the fact that when children come into the world no “instruction manual” comes with them, no guidance as to how to raise them. On the occasion of the first marriage, recorded in Genesis 2:21-25, it was the Lord Himself who both “officiated” over the “ceremony” and served as “the father of the bride,” bringing the woman to the man. Some people seek to re-define the meaning of the term, “marriage,” even going so far as to allow for such an aberration as same-sex “marriages.” Others dismiss the whole institution of marriage viewing it as nothing more than a man-made arrangement, they dispense with it and simply live together.Īll this is in defiance of the fact that marriage is an institution ordained by none other than God our Creator. The result is the tearing down, rather than the building up, of the family, and the whole household can be endangered.Īs a matter of fact, the whole institution of marriage and family has been endangered today. When one member of the family fails to carry out their role it has a negative effect on the rest of the household: other roles are altered and begin to malfunction. In such homes the family no longer functions as it should because one or more of the members are not fulfilling their roles: there may be abuse, or addiction, or absence.
We hear a lot these days about dysfunctional families.
