I have been a pastor for 25 years and I have always tried to require at least six sessions of premarital counseling before the wedding. When I look to see how many of the couples I worked with in the past are still married, I find that most of the ones that took the time […]

Grandparents have a special opportunity to encourage, equip and inspire their grandchildren to follow Jesus. In when I was little my dad got married and I stayed with my new step-mom’s parents.
