Let’s stop viewing marriage through rose-tinted glasses

Veronica Zundel believes that Christian marriage has become an idol for today’s Church

Satan is attacking Christian marriages.” Have you ever heard that stated as fact? I’ll bet if you have, you’ve never heard any biblical reference or justification for it – because there isn’t any. It’s just one of those pieces of what I call ‘evangelical folklore’. Yes, Christian marriages break down (although I did once hear a colleague observe plaintively: “mine broke up”) but this is just as likely to be down to good old human fallibility or poor decisions as it is to a spiritual attack. Why would Satan have a specific campaign to target Christian marriage? Surely he’s far too busy helping multinational corporations ruin the planet?
