The benefits of marriage and religious practice for children and society

WEBINAR OVERVIEW

The social sciences study the relationships between people to understand how man thrives or wilts. 
 
Man is a deeply relational being, brought into existence through the most intense relational embrace of a father and mother, which, as it were, forces the hand of the Trinity to give being to this new creature. Thus, six persons are involved in the act of conception. Thereafter, early on as a child and later as an adult, the new person thrives in lifelong monogamous marriage, and most of all with the weekly worship of God.  
 
All the data in the social sciences confirm these statements. Marriage and the worship of God are the fundamental building blocks of the individual, the couple, the family, the community, the nation, and the globe. They are the twin helix of the DNA of society.
 
Therefore, the newly conceived infant implanted in his mother’s womb, were he able to speak, could rightly say:
 
“I am totally dependent on your marriage and your worship of God to flourish and to reach my potential as a human being. You need both also. With them we can become a trinity on earth that will abide with the Trinity in heaven — forever!”
 

THIS WEBINAR WILL COVER

  • Man thrives in a lifelong monogamous marriage.
  • Man thrives more by fulfilling his duty to worship God each week.
  • Man thrives most when he honours God both in marriage and worship.
