 Value of marriage-A  While the church teaches the sanctity of marriage, it has been lax in protecting it. Churches need to support young families going through the stress of surviving in a culture that considers marriage transitional or obsolete and who have no family nearby to help them. The church can do a great deal to strengthen the marriages in its church families through marriage enrichment classes and discussions with youth about dealing with relationships.  The subject is too broad to cover here but I have written a series on the Value of Marriage including “God Made Them Male & Female” (about differences between them), “In Defense of Marriage” (about benefits of marriage), and “What is Normal” (Problems we have today due to the breakdown of marriage) which are available through Udemy at – https://www.udemy.com/course/value-of-family-and-gender/?referralCode=B59AC09CACA5C0C97BDD
