Foundation

Your house is built on a foundation. The foundation determines if your house will crumble and fall or is it strong enough to stand the storms?  Before the foundation is formed a lot of work goes into preparing of the soil.  Formation begins with placing re-bar to hold the concrete of the foundation which gives the concrete a better chance of not cracking. You got it!

Matthew 7:26
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

Same is true with a marriage.  How has your foundation been formed in your marriage, on the rock which is the word of God or the sand?  Not all marriages formed on the rock and God's word will survive without some kind of trial or a valley.  The more of God's word that you pour into your marriage, the better the chance that you will survive the test. Without the word of God the bigger the chance is that you listen to the world which is divorce.  I honestly can't believe that couples that know God's word just picks up and walks away without even giving God the chance to place the re-bar (The word of God) back into their marriage to stop it from crumbling.

Matthew 7:25
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
