Chris.
The marriages of
God’s Servants are very important. God’s Servants’ marriages and families are to set some kind of
model to God’s People. Many years ago, when I first came
into Ministry I saw and knew this fact. Servants of God who have good marriages
bring a sense of security to the Church. When the marriage of the Servant of
the Lord is not good then the congregation picks that up very quickly, discern
it and it can negatively affect them.
