The Sabbath was to remind us forever that He is our Creator. Marriage and family--the closest of human relationships--would serve both to propagate the race and to illustrate god's relationship with His church. According to one of the officers at my bank, the percent of their home loans in default is approximately 0.2 percent. Nationwide, the divorce rate is nearly 50 percent, which means that people are far more likely to default on their marriage commitment than on their mortgage. Would not a divorce rate of 50 percent indicate that we might be carrying our throwaway, instant-gratification mentality into our home relationships? |
