Therapy for Ailing Marriages - Brian Knowles & Carole Ritter - August 1975

Brian Knowles & Carole Ritter

"Marriage," said the Greek poet Menander, "if one will face the truth, is an evil, but a necessary one." Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, said simply, "Marriage is a noose." To many in today's troubled society these statements would merit a hearty "Amen!" But marriage was not meant to be a "noose" or an "evil"! It was intended by the Creator God Himself to be the epitome of human relationships. In fact, marriage is a reflection of a much higher relationship. If your marriage is not quite up to par, this article will provide some helpful therapy. OVER the years, the institution of marriage has acquired a rather bad image in some circles - and not without good reason. The marriage relationship has been blamed for a great deal of human misery and suffering. To many in a society where the "new morality" is rapidly endangering the conventional family unit, marriage has indeed become a noose, an unnecessary evil. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
