Families

 
 


   We sought, we chose, we battled, and we conquered. At least that's what we think. The truth is that the fight for a happy family life is not over—it's just beginning. Our marriages have just begun. Now it's up to us to finish strong. And that's exactly the purpose of our fellowship and Bible study meetings.

   The Bethany 0-5 Couples Group meets monthly to learn how to have a happy, biblical marriage—a marriage full of love, respect, and true fulfillment. We have so much against us. In the society we live in, adventure and diversity are glorified over said monotony and routine—which explains the high divorce rate.

But, we want to be different. We want to achieve that profound stability of a tried and true marriage. We want to live out the spontaneity of waking up to the same person every day and always discovering something new and noble about them. We want to defy the odds against staying married "until death do us part". This is a marriage founded on Christ—one that puts emphasis on inner-beauty over the passing exterior, one that is characterized by Paul in 1 Corinthians 13. That's what we want.

   Through topics ranging from family models and finances to life experiences, Pastor Luigi Mitoi is giving us the keys to achieve this. Come on this journey with us—a journey of new beginnings, commitment, and fellowship. If you are a newlywed couple, married for no more than five years, please consider joining us one Monday a month, from 7 to 9 p.m.. Surrounding ourselves with godly people who believe in marriage is essential to our survival.

   At the end, may we be able to say we have made and kept two covenants and kept them both. The first one is to God, being able to say, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness...' (II Timothy 4:7 NKJV), and second to my spouse, proclaiming, “We sought, we chose, we battled, and we conquered!'" May God help us to make this a reality!

Be blessed!
