Can The Church Save Marriage?

Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and both the man and woman made vows to love their spouse. Research in 2020 revealed the most frequently given reasons for divorce from a sample of over 2,000 people, including lack of love/intimacy, communication issues, and lack of sympathy/respect/trust. A functional and fulfilling marriage requires a commitment from both spouses.

God hates divorce because He intended for a man and woman to be joined until death, and the marriage relationship should reflect that of the church and Christ’s relationship. Nations can rise or fall when marriages fall apart. For pastors and church leaders who want to save their congregations and communities from the tragedies of shattered marriages, www.MarriageSavers.org has a solution that can cut the divorce rate.

The Catholic Church saved David Anders’ marriage and possibly his life by recognizing that marriage is a sacred covenant before God and both the man and woman made vows to love their spouse. The decline in church attendance in America is inextricably linked to the decline of marriage, and God can do the impossible even if the marriage seems unsalvageable.

While God requires couples to get married before having sex and children, nowhere in the Bible does He say that a marriage is only legitimate. If you have the faith that God created Heaven & Earth, He can save your marriage.

Does God ever want a marriage to end?

Jesus’s view on this question is more nuanced in the New Testament. In Matthew, the Pharisees ask Jesus, “Can a man divorce his wife for any reason?” (Matthew 19:3). The Pharisees tried to trap Jesus by asking him to give a simple answer about divorce. But Jesus knows they’re not being sincere. Instead of answering, Jesus quotes Genesis and says: “God joins together, let no one separate.” As the Pharisees kept asking questions, Jesus explained that divorce is not what God wanted. Jesus says, “Moses allowed divorce because of your hard hearts, but it wasn’t God’s original plan. If you divorce and marry someone else, you are committing adultery.” Jesus says God’s standard is that no one should divorce. This is similar to what we see in Matthew 18 when Peter asked about forgiveness. Peter asked, “How many times should I forgive?” But like the Pharisees, Peter wasn’t asking for the answer. He wanted to look good, but Jesus saw right through it. Jesus said God would forgive 77 times. This shows what Jesus expects of us. He doesn’t want a grudge. He doesn’t want us to just check the box. He wants us to pursue him. Pursue him with a pure heart. Don’t just get by. But have a heart that is for Him.

Can God restore a marriage?

Faith is not about hoping God will save your marriage. God doesn’t save some marriages and let others fall apart. God is a healer, restorer, and redeemer. If He chose to save some marriages but not others, He would have to change who He is. But even when God wants to save a marriage, there is more to it. He won’t make you or your spouse do something against your will. You can choose to listen to and obey God. Your spouse has the same freedom. If you or your spouse refuse to let God heal your marriage, He will honor your choice. Choose faith. If your spouse can stop it, why believe your marriage can be healed? The rewards for allowing God to help you are worth more than you can imagine. I believe that your choice to believe in God is a win-win.

Can going to church save my marriage?

Churches that took part said the pilot program led to a big increase in church attendance, with figures ranging from 25 to 30 percent. Church attendance increases the chance of marriage, so these figures will have a positive impact on other indicators over time. But marketing wasn’t the only reason for the big changes. The local mobilizer, Live the Life, a Florida nonprofit, played a big part as consultant, content provider, and coordinator. The book starts with some interesting facts. Christian churches and organizations spend a lot of money on their youth, but not so much on their adults. Of the 19,000+ American churches with weekly attendance above 500, nearly $855 million is spent on youth ministry. Add to that the amount spent on groups like Young Life and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the numbers rise above $2 billion.
