I’ll begin today’s program with two simple questions: “Why marriage?” and “Why family?” These are questions few consider, but they are among the most important of all questions as the answers have everything to do with the very purpose of your life. Let’s be clear, marriages and families are in disarray everywhere. The family institution, though healthier at some times than others and in some countries than others, has never been understood as it is seen by almost everyone as an institution created by man. But is it? Or is there more to marriage and family? In the wedding ceremony used by the Living Church of God, the sponsor of this Tomorrow’s World program, we state the following: Marriage is not only a natural union, but also a divine institution, ordained of God. It was established not by man, but by the Eternal God at creation, and derives its authority not from civil codes of man, but from the divine laws of God, immutable and unchangeable from creation. Is that true? Is marriage a divine institution? And if so, what is God’s purpose for marriage and family? These are the questions I’ll be answering on today’s program.
