Marriage

The Bible is clear about not being "unequally yoked," but what if you become a Christian once married and your spouse doesn't follow suit?

Christian authors Lynn Donovan and Dineen Miller spoke about being married to nonbelieving husbands today on Focus on the Family radio.

In their co-authored book, Winning Him Without Words, they highlight the struggles of being in a marriage where their spouse doesn't share their spiritual beliefs, and also how to overcome and thrive regardless of the situation. more >>

Megachurch pastor Mark Driscoll continues to push the envelope while preaching about the subject of sex during his current sermon series, which has the same theme as his book, Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together.

I know God hates divorce but I don't have any other option. My pastor and some Christian counselors have told me that while God hates divorce, this is the lesser of two evils because God doesn't want me to be miserable. What do you think?

Ben & Jerry's announced this week that it would be renaming its "Oh My! Apple Pie!" ice cream flavor to "Apple-y Ever After" in support of same-sex marriage legislation in the U.K., marking the second time the company has renamed a flavor to support gay marriage.

"If you think that Civil Partnership is the same as marriage, think again! Show your support and help convince members of parliament that it's time to say 'I do' to same sex marriage!" says Ben & Jerry's website advertising the name change.
