LONGWOOD, FL--If 40 to 60 percent of Ford or General Motors automobiles fell apart in the early years of operation, the public response would be civil unrest and perhaps even violence. People would demand immediate steps to correct the situation. That same failure rate, unfortunately, applies to marriages in this country--even Christian marriages--yet there is no outcry. What is the underlying problem, and what is the solution for Christians? Within the pages of Apostle Ulysses Tuff's new Xulon Press book, The Spirit-Filled Wedding: Biblical Traditions ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-60957-644-8), the author clears up misconceptions concerning biblical wedding traditions, reveals when true marriage begins, and offers tips and principles to help guide couples through a Spirit-filled life together.
"The mistake is never with God," the author says. "God is absolutely perfect--without fault or blemish. Likewise, there is nothing wrong with the institution of marriage because it was ordained by God. The underlying problem is that the modern marriage is not directly related to the Lord Jesus Christ. Because today's marriages have lost this foundation, they have lost their spiritual significance."
Tuff--who is the pastor and founder of The Way, The Truth and The Life Christian Center, Inc., in Decatur, Georgia--says that the topic is one that is very personal to him. Over the years, he has assessed many marriages, including his own. And he has found a number of possible explanations for the current state of so many failed marriages.
