This is one of the distinctives of Orthodox Jewish marriage, and may account for their low rate of divorce. Pastor Steve Cioccolanti lists 5 steps the church can take to prevent or lower the rate of divorce among Christians. What are the most common causes of marriage breakdown? What are the elements of good pre-marital counselling? What should be the role of the church versus secular government in promoting peace in the home? John Milton wrote \"The Doctrine \u0026amp; Discipline of Divorce” in 1643 and presented it to the English Parliament in 1644. Even though this Christian document is over 400 years old, it still contains many answers to the lingering struggles of Christians today. Referencing not only Scripture verses, but also wise voices from history and the church, Pastor Steve Cioccolanti puts together an encouraging message that will surely minister to people who care about strong family and good relationships.\u003cbr\u003e\nGet the full teaching: \u003cbr\u003e\nWhat the Bible Really Says About Divorce \u0026amp; Remarriage Series (3 DVDs) \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Discover Church Store","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":44226522939436,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":44226522972204,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MP3","offer_id":45454241923116,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Stream","offer_id":45454241955884,"sku":null,"price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9220\/1004\/files\/WhattheBibleReallySaysAboutDivorce_amp_RemarriageSeries_FrontCover.jpg?v=1776230748"},{"product_id":"steve-cioccolanti-psychology-of-love","title":"The Psychology of Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eLet us share with you an alarming stat.\u003cbr\u003eMore than 40% of American marriages end up in a divorce.
