It has often been said that as the family goes, so goes society. Given the correlation between the deterioration of our society's moral standards with the rise of preferential unions and the confusion of gender roles, there would seem to be a great deal of truth in this saying. Likewise, we might also say that as marriage goes, so goes the family.
As any parent knows, young children are extremely impressionable � not just to what we say but to what we do, and not just to what we do but to how we do it. They tend to absorb their parents' lifestyle and model their behavior holistically � not just the select facets that we want to portray to them. Thus it is of the highest importance to the health of the whole family that marriage partners present an accurate picture of what the relationship between a man and a woman ought to look like in what they teach, and even more importantly in what the live out each and every day.
Unfortunately, fathers and mothers are nothing more than grown up children, and in this desperate world many of them have themselves grown up in troubled or broken homes and have a very distorted picture of how the relationship between husband and wife ought to look. In extreme instances, some have even preferred to turn to alternative lifestyles rather than embrace the lifestyle of their parents. Others end up making the same mistakes as their parents and passing the painful consequences of those mistakes down to their own children. Thus the cycle of decay continues to a new generation.
Yet in the midst of marital misery and confusion, there is a light and a sure hope of healing in Jesus Christ as portrayed in the Bible. It is the firm conviction of the owners and lead instructor of I've Got Rhythm that the Bible is nothing less than the inspired and inerrant Word of God and as such is a trustworthy guide in all areas of life, especially in marriage. If God made us, He alone can tell us how to get the utmost satisfaction out of our lives and our marriages, and in His great mercy to us, He has done just that through the life of His Son.

With God it is never too late to find redemption, and there is no guilt so great that it cannot be overcome with His love.
In these Bible-based programs, you will learn what God has to say about the design of your marriage, and you will find your life challenged at many points, but by consistently listening and applying what you learn, you will also find renewal and hope in your relationship with your spouse, and you will find a peace that God alone can give.
