The Rev. Jay Tenney, pastor of Barnesville (Ga.) First United Methodist Church, said long-lasting relationships must be created in God’s image. The key to a lifetime of happiness, he said, can be found in Galatians, Thessalonians and Ecclesiastes.
* Galatians 5:13: Serve one another in love.
* 1 Thessalonians 5:11: Encourage one another and build each other up.
* Ecclesiastes 4:12: A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
“I think that what we see on TV is definitely playing a factor in the acceptance of infidelity. It sometimes seems that being unfaithful is glamorized, while the costs and consequences of infidelity are minimized. Divorce is often portrayed as a quick and easy option,” Tenney said.
Tenney said he has found many couples want to improve their marriages, but need help finding the right resources.
“I have also found that a lot of people may not seek out counselors or pastors when they need help,” he said. “However, in today’s world many of them are willing to go online. With this in mind, I developed a marriage coaching Web site called ”˜MyMarriageCoach.com.’”
