If Marriage Is at the Breaking Point

HOW A  BROKEN MARRIAGE WAS SAVED

Three months after Lucia, mentioned earlier, separated from her husband, she met Jehovah's Witnesses and started to study the Bible with them.  "To my great surprise," she explains, "the Bible supplied practical solutions to my problem.  After just one week of study, I immediately wanted to make up with my husband. Today I can say that Jehovah knows how to save marriages in crisis because his teachings help mates to learn how to feel esteem for each other. It is not true, as some assert, that Jehovah's Witnesses divide families.  In my case, exactly the opposite was true."  Lucia learned to apply Bible principles in her life. 

Lucia is not an exception.  Marriage should be a blessing, not burden.  To that end, Jehovah has provided the finest source of marriage counsel ever written-his precious Word.  The Bible can make "the inexperienced ones wise."  (Psalm 19:7-11) It has saved many marriages that were at the breaking point and has improved many others that had serious problems.  May all married couples have full confidence int he marriage counsel that Jehovah God supplies. It really works!
