Value of Marriage Ministry
According to the Marriage Dynamics website, having a church program for married couples helps people face problems. They added that couples could learn to embrace God’s grace through marriage ministry.

The website also stressed that Christ’s followers are not excused from having marital challenges. But they could have a different solution, as mentioned on the website. They said that church members are also exposed to struggles in marriage.
They noted that couples who attend the church could also experience miscommunication, problems, and sexual temptations. The website added that they could also be stumbling blocks for others.
Yet, the website stressed that the way church members react to those challenges could differ from unbelievers. They said they could rely on God’s grace to help them overcome.
