During my Ethics: The Christian Home class yesterday we watched a series of videos from ABC's Nightline FaceOff program they ran last year. We watched the one that was titled "Born to Cheat?" I encourage you to do a few things for me.

First, watch them. It might take about an hour or so. But they are such a great look into the state of marriage in this day and age. Culturally we are bankrupting marriage. This is where we are heading. Forget Gay marriage and other obvious attacks on marriage. Listen to the subtle problems spoken about here, even from Ed Young Jr.
Second, pray for the state of this culture. That people would recognize that God is the Author and perfector of Marriage. That they would return to the wives and husbands of their youths. That they would put the Cross of Christ right in the middle of their marriages, flee from their sinful selfs, and focusing on affecting the generations to come with the kingdom of heaven.
Lastly, love your spouse. Take them into your arms and approach the throne of Grace. Ask Jesus to be the centerpiece of your marriage. Hold fast to them always, and honor the vows you made to them and to God.
Dear reader, take time to open your Bibles to Ephesians 5:22-33, and remember that God loves us purely.
