WHY MARRIAGES FAIL

Why do marriages fail-even when two people genuinely love one another and sincerely desire to stay together?In WHY MARRIAGES FAIL: Returning to God’s School of Marriage, Rev. James Solomon takes readers beyond surface-level explanations and brings marriage back to its original Author-God Himself.Marriage did not begin with culture, government, tradition, or society. Marriage began with God. And when something begins to malfunction, wisdom says: go back to the Manufacturer and His instructions.Drawing from more than four decades of pastoral ministry, biblical teaching, counseling, prayer, and family restoration, Rev. James Solomon examines the spiritual, emotional, relational, and practical issues that can weaken marriages.Beginning in the Garden of Eden, this book reveals a powerful truth: the first major attack against humanity took place around the first marriage. Satan understood that if he could attack marriage, he could affect the family and influence generations yet unborn.Inside this book, you will discover:• Why the first marriage began to fail when humanity departed from God’s instructions• Marriage as a covenant, not merely a contract• The spiritual warfare surrounding marriage and family• Why your spouse is not your enemy• God’s divine order for husband and wife• Biblical headship, submission, sacrificial love, and accountability before God• Why your spouse did not write your commandment-God did• One Foundation and Four Pillars for a strong marriage• How communication, anger, money, sex, betrayal, in-laws, children, careers, and technology can become marital battlefields• How childhood wounds and family patterns can follow people into marriage• The dangers of jealousy, insecurity, control, unforgiveness, bitterness, addiction, and abuse• How broken trust can be rebuilt where genuine repentance, wisdom, safety, and willingness are present• How to break destructive patterns before they become an inheritance for the next generationThis book does not teach that every marital problem is caused by a demon. Some problems require repentance. Some require forgiveness. Some require counseling, financial wisdom, medical care, accountability, boundaries, or professional intervention. But every marriage needs the wisdom of the One who created it.At the heart of this book is one unforgettable picture:God is the Author.Christ is the Foundation.The Bible is the textbook.The Holy Spirit is the Teacher.Husband and wife are the students.The home is the classroom.Life provides the examinations.And the wedding?The wedding is not graduation day. It is enrollment day.Whether you are single, engaged, newly married, married for decades, rebuilding after crisis, or helping others strengthen their homes, WHY MARRIAGES FAIL will challenge you to return to God’s design, God’s order, God’s Word, and God’s School of Marriage.Your marriage is bigger than your present struggle. There are children watching. There are generations coming. And by the grace of God, the story handed to the next generation can be better than the story handed to you.
