Family Matters

We can sometimes wonder what it is that God wants us to do with our lives. We know that he wants us to live for Him, but when it comes to the details, it’s often difficult to figure out what steps to take to even get started. We’ll cover more on this subject in this Family Matters episode.

If a wife feels that her husband’s eyes tend to wander whenever an attractive woman walks by, what does she do? Keep silent and pray that nothing more is going on, or address the situation before it gets out of control? We’d like to suggest the latter and we’ll go into more detail in this Family Matters episode.

Pre-marital cohabitation has become increasingly common over the last while, and in fact, the statistics show that in our country fewer people are actually choosing to get married at all. The view of marriage has begun to change, but what are the over-arching benefits of marriage, and why should couples still aspire to marriage? We’ll talk more about this in this episode.

We usually find ourselves talking about abuse where the wife is the victim, but on today’s Family Matters we’ll help a husband who is suffering physical abuse from his wife, and give universal steps that must be taken no matter what the abuse and who the perpetrator is.

The number of abortions taking place in our country annually is astounding and the documented figures don’t even include illegal abortions that take place outside of official facilities. There are very few cases where a mother has to choose her own health over the life of her baby, and this is the topic we’ll discuss in this Family Matters episode.

Adoption is a beautiful thing that is close to God’s heart. He has adopted every believer into his family, as his word says in Roman’s 8, that we have been adopted as sons and daughters. When a family considers the adoption of a child, there is so much that comes into play, much preparation and planning takes place beforehand. But what happens when the child who is to be adopted has experienced abuse? These children so desperately need a loving and safe home, and a family to belong to, but the journey can be quite challenging along the way for the parents. We want to speak a little more about this topic in this Family Matters episode.

When someone forgives another person, it does not necessarily mean that they are reconciled to them. We’ll talk more about forgiveness and reconciliation in this Family Matters episode.

Home-life can be greatly impacted by a spouse who is complacent and refuses to contribute to the household income and or responsibilities. What does one do in a situation like this? We’d like to offer our perspective on this dilemma in this Family Matters episode.

When it comes to finances, couples need to be on the same page in order to avoid unmet expectations and a whole lot of disappointment in the relationship. In this Family Matters episode, we’ll speak about the financial perspective for newlyweds, but the principles apply to all marriages.

If a teen or young adult has a strong faith, we tend to believe that they will be exempt from dealing with issues such as depression and thoughts of suicide. However, this belief can be questionable when we realize that human beings are fallible. In this Family Matters episode, we’ll talk more about this difficult subject.
