With the trend of divorce in Christendom, it has become worrisome that some believers are fast changing the ancient landmark of God. Over time, many couples have bounced back from a vast range of seemly irreversible problems such as unresolved conflicts, extramarital affairs, lack of intimacy, excessive quarrels, insufficient and ineffective communication, inadequate quality of time spent together due to busy schedules, suffocating partners, children issues, trial separation and many more complex and difficult situations. With absolute trust in God, following biblical principles and spiritual counseling coupled with prayer; virtually, anyone can have the marriage of their dreams. By God's grace and through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the author instructs through this compendium on Principles of Christian Marriage and Family Life about how to resolve your matrimonial problems and have a marital life of heaven on earth.

The world today is grappling with the consequences of faulty family values practised by past generations. God cherishes the family unit, but modern civilisation, especially in the West, has gradually defiled the institution of marriage and encouraged divorce and single parenting. This has decreased respect in the home and driven God out of classrooms, removing Gods word from school curricula. The shocking result is a moral vacuum and the breakdown of law and order in many ramifications. This unfortunate situation calls for the writing of a book like this to rescue Christian families from a downward slide. J.O.Y Aladetans book, Christian Marriage and Family Life, addresses a relevant problem, gives useful and pragmatic suggestions, and provides delightful scriptural information to help married and unmarried persons alike in their desire for instruction about Christian families. I pray that this book will serve as a tool to protect the institution of marriage and Christian families and that it will promote and enlarge the kingdom of God.
