Family Matters

As Christian parents we always want to make sure that our children know the principles by which Christ has taught us to live. However, we also need to ensure that they understand the fallen world that we live in.

The marriage rate in our country is disconcertingly low, with only 30 percent of marriage age people being married. So when we hear about a young couple wanting to get married we get excited, however, is it wise to get married whilst still at University?

It can be awfully tough when one spouse doesn’t take the financial crises the family is facing seriously.
