Marriage is God’s covenant between man and woman. It is sacred on its own as an institution of God. Many marriages yield children that become the center of all attention and energy, leaving a floundering marriage relationship.
When adults allow this to happen, they rarely consider that trying to preserve children at the expense of the marriage that formed them is like “throwing the baby out with the bath water.”
The single most important act that parents can perform for their children’s emotional, social, and relational health is to provide them with a healthy marriage and home in which to grow. How else are they going to learn how to have strong, healthy relationships?
Besides, there is life after children. When the nest is empty, the joy of having children is seeing them go forward in adult life and be fulfilled in their intimate relationships.
