Sadly, 50% of couples are divorcing. Add to that number those who are separating and not reconciling and the number soars to 66%. Additionally, research shows only 25% of couples are truly happy. With numbers like these, We can't deny that couples are in a serious battle for their marriages.

It's been reported that the numbers for this research apply equally to those within the visible church of Jesus Christ as they do to those outside of the church. This tells us some thing is terribly wrong. Would you agree? I mean, it just doesn't make sense that people who have the spirit of Christ in them would be experiencing the same patterns of divorce and other marriage problems as those in the world do.

Though this article is not intended to explore the various reasons that might explain this pattern, we can't ignore this condundrum. Therefore, first piece of marriage advice I can give you is this: If you and your spouse are on a destructive marriage path then the most important thing to do is to take inventory of your relationship with Jesus Christ. Paul says it like this, "Examine yourself to see if you are really in the faith."

Beyond, testing yourself to see if you are in the faith, you must grasp these 5 core Biblically based marriage principles.
