“Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah.  So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.  Genesis 24:67

The statistics tell a tragic story.  Two out of three children between birth and eighteen will spend at least a portion of their growing up years in a single-parent family.  The University of California tested fifth and sixth graders to see what causes them the most anxiety.  The top answers:  having parents separate or divorce, parents arguing with each other, and parents who don’t spend enough time with their children.  In a survey of high school students at graduation, 80 percent said that a happy and successful marriage is one of the most important goals in life.

It’s obvious that children in our time are desperately looking for love, security, and stability.  The primary source for those life-stabilizing elements is to be found in their home.

No two people on earth are better positioned to offer your children what they so deeply need.  Give them the gift that’s right for Christmas, their birthday, and even graduation.  Like Isaac of old, love the person you married.
