Don’t Dump Your Marriage When You Add a Child

Back to the red-letter words in Mark 10, Jesus also said that we should not let man interfere with what God has joined together. We shouldn’t let our children interfere either. Don’t neglect your spouse for your child(ren)…one day, you and your spouse will be left with each other and that phase of life will be over. Just the two of you. Again. You can cultivate your marriage now and enjoy that time. Or you can grow distant and lonely. The choice is yours, but the time to make your decision is now.
