Christianity challenge: What happens when the normal scuffles in wedded bliss turn to relationship trauma?
Fox News
Chief religion correspondent Lauren Green of Fox News interviewed Christian book author Lysa Terkeurst about love, marriage, divorce — and the challenges of faith within all.
There are no perfect unions in matrimony, however. The give and take of tying the knot requires each individual to give up a lot of the autonomy he or she may have enjoyed while single. In the world of faith, divorce is a touchy subject. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was reminding them that, like marriage, they are in a covenantal relationship with Him, an intimate bond of both law and love. "I remembered I'd made a promise to myself to never again diminish the best of who I am, to cover up the worst of who someone else is." "If we implement a boundary and then we keep dropping that boundary, we're training the other person to never take us seriously." Ask, said TerKeurst, "Where am I failing to put boundaries around myself to keep myself sane, stable and safe?" Lauren Green currently serves as Fox News Channel's (FNC) chief religion correspondent based in the New York bureau. She joined FNC in 1996. Her new book is "Lighthouse Faith: God as a Living Reality in a World Immersed in Fog." She is host of Fox News Digital's "Spirited Debate."
