Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without.
If homes are going to survive, it will be because husbands and fathers again place their families at the highest level on their system of priorities.
There is nothing more important than parents passing on a generational legacy of faith and values to their children.
Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.
What is the biggest obstacle facing the family right now? It is over-commitment; time pressure. There is nothing that will destroy family life more insidiously than hectic schedules and busy lives, where spouses are too exhausted to communicate, too worn out to have sex, too fatigued to talk to the kids. That frantic lifestyle is just as destructive as one involving outbroken sin. If Satan can't make you sin, he'll make you busy, and that's just about the same thing.
