In these days of economic uncertainty, and in a society that values financial security, money is an emotional topic.

Appearances and lifestyle matter to us. And money—or the lack of it—often determines whether or not were content. The truth is, our attitudes toward money and possessions reflect the quality of our relationship with God. And, according to the Scriptures, our view of money reveals where our true affections lie. Prosperity is not a sin, but it does bring responsibilities.

And scarcity is not a virtue, particularly when it distracts us from the things that truly matter. A Blueprint for Building a Love that Lasts Marriage begins with visions of eternal love, hope, and happiness.

Marriage, when lived out as God intended, makes us complete, it brings us joy, and gives our lives fresh meaning.
