Let Jehovah Fortify Your Marriage

"Unless Jehovah guards the city, it is in vain that the guard stays awake." -PSALM 127:1b.

SHORTY before the nation of Israel entered the Promised Land, tens of thousands of men committed "sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab.,"  As a  result, 24,000 perished at Jehovah's hand. Imagine-the Israelites were so close to the realization of their long-awaited inheritance, yet they lost out on wonderful blessings because of succumbing to temptation. -Numbers 25:1-5,

That disastrous example was recorded  "for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the system of things have come." (1 Corinthians 10:6-11) Now in the final  part of the "last days," God's servants are on the threshold of a righteous new world.  (2 Timothy 3:1, 2 Peter 3:13. Sadly, though, some of Jehovah's worshippers have let down their guard.  They have been ensnared by immorality and have reap;ed the bitter consequences of immoral conduct. Such ones run the risk of losing out on eternal blessings. 

Because of today's scourge of immorality, husbands and wives need Jehovah's direction and protection so that their efforts to safeguard their marriage will not be in vain.  (Read Psalm 127:1) We will discuss how a couple can fortify their marriage by guarding their heart, drawing close to God, putting on the new personality, maintaining meaningful communication, and rendering  the marriage due.
