On Marriage and Family
We believers are held to a higher standard. And, remember, man does not set the bar. At the head of each family, God has placed a man.
How Satan Influences You
Your perception may not match reality. If/when this happens (typically is due to you believing lies or half-truths), you are likely to make decisions that are sub-optimal. It’s like trying to build an argument on insubstantive beliefs - eventually, your argument fails (the greater the initial presupposition, the greater the fall - ala Mt 7:24-27).
Synthesize the Following...
Mt 7:17-27; Lk 8:17-18; Eph 5:15; Heb 4:12; 2Ti 3:16. Summary: Seek to build your thoughts on truth; therefore, be careful what you listen to because your thoughts direct your walk - let the Bible be your source of truth because it is God-breathed.

Don’t Be a Liar
Lying makes you indistinguishable from Christ’s antagonists. We have enough lies to try to sift through - we don’t need our own to make matters worse. Function in integrity, always, even when it “hurts”.

1Th 4:7
For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.
2Co 12:15
I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?
Gal 4:16
Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?
2Pe 2:9
then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
“the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials”
Always remember this! When circumstances seem dire, remember God’s promises to you, personally. “[He] will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb 13:5).

Do not allow people from outside of your family infiltrate it. Be vigilant, on guard, ready to ward off the wolves in sheep’s clothing. Remember, attacks often come from where you least expect it! (Psa 55:12-14)
