Marriage On Hold: Kids

DAY 3 OF 5

Dangers

Devotional Content

In today’s video, Dr. Kim asks Tony and Natalie this question, “What are the dangers you see of having a child-centered marriage?”

There may, over time, be a number of dangers to having a child-centered marriage. God has a plan for marriage that started with the first marriage and has not changed over the years. It is God first and spouse second. Kids are important. Kids are a tremendous blessing. Yet, we cannot forget that part of our role in parenting is to model marriage. We are the marriage textbook for our kids. What are you modeling? A child-centered marriage not only hurts your marriage but also the future marriages of your kids.

Today’s Challenge: 

As a couple, discuss the dangers that you see for your marriage if it is child-centered.

Going Deeper:

What model of marriage do you want your kids to see? Together take steps to put your model into action.
