Last night they had ministry for the married couples at church. Casey Mammon ministered. He talked about raising children instead of talking about marriage. This is an important subject, but not for the keynote address of a marriage focused event.
They do marriage ministry different here than I am accustomed to. Just one more thing that causes me to adapt and adjust and to change my mind about.
The trick to ministering on marriage is to realize that it is not a one size fits all topic. You have young and old, newly weds and married a long time. Do you focus on one aspect and ignore the rest?
Pastor Mitchell once did the service at the marriage retreat on how to stay married for 50 years. A genius move. Older folks could relate and appreciate it. It gave younger folks something to strive towards.
Pray for our married couples. The hope of the world rests on their shoulders.
