God wants us to be happy



In a world with so much suffering, happy families are harder and harder to find. Perhaps you came from a broken family—or are in one right now. Your Bible reveals vital tools that can help you build—or rebuild—the happy family God wants you to have!

A family's health and happiness can be broken by alcoholism, physical abuse, sexual abuse—and even by wrong ideas about child-rearing. But broken families can be rebuilt, and Scripture provides a blueprint to show how this can be done!


Do You Have a Perfect Family?
We all have a dream of what a perfect family should look like. God also has an idea of what the perfect family would look like:
1 Peter 3:8
You should be like one big happy family, full of sympathy toward each other, loving one another with tender hearts and humble minds
The reality is that none of us have a perfect family. But God gave us our families, just as they are, for a specific purpose, and we have responsibilities as His children to take care of our family relationships.
1 Timothy 5:8
But anyone who won’t care for his own relatives when they need help, especially those living in his own family, has no right to say he is a Christian. Such a person is worse than a heathen
