What is it that makes the devil mad? What is it that is truly encroaching on his kingdom? It's not the street preacher on the corner yelling at people. It's not people going through the motions of religious rituals. Here's what makes the devil mad: a family that honors God with all their hearts. A marriage that lasts a lifetime. Children being brought up to become champions of God's work of love down through the years. That's what threatens him. And that's exactly why building a faith-filled family is one of the most important things you will ever do.

Our culture sends completely contradictory messages about marriage. On one hand, we're told that romantic love is the ultimate goal of life. We need to find someone who will "complete" us and make all our dreams come true. On the other hand, when marriage doesn't deliver that fairy tale happiness, we're told it's disposable. We need to start by understanding God's purpose for marriage before we can talk about how to build a better one.

But what seemed like the wrong choice was actually the most revolutionary entrance in human history.
