How Can Children Change a Marriage?

Many parents know that children can change a marriage in unexpected ways. They may be thrilled at the arrival of their first baby.

Here are some questions that concern new parents:

* How can new parents adjust to the hectic first few months when the newborn requires all their attention?

* What can a couple do to maintain their intimacy?

* How can they handle any disagreements about parenting?

Does God care About Women?

In many parts of the world, women suffer discrimination and mistreatment. Sadly, religious beliefs have contributed to this. 

Some think that God doesn't care about them, that he has forgotten them. However, notice what God's Written Word, the Bible, says about how husbands should treat their wives.

"In this way husbands ought to be loving their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself,  for no man ever hated his own flesh; but he feeds and cherishes it, as the Christ also does the congregation." 

- Ephesians 5:28,29
