It is clear that pressure upon the traditional family has constantly been on the increase in recent years. Marriage and family life as an institution has already been on the defensive for a long time. Many  social problems among children and youth can surely be traced back to this development.
Faith in God's Word gives us strength to live for one another and to seek what is best for the others in our marriages and families. In this way, love and respect for one another increases steadily, and the good atmosphere within the family becomes a source of joy and strength for our everyday lives.
We consider children to be a gift from God and we accept them with joy, whether we are granted only few or many. While their children are young, our mothers often decide on the profession "homemaker" and mother. In this manner, the necessary mother-child-relationship, which is so important in the early years of life for a healthy development, is provided for. There are, however, a goodly number of women and mothers among us who are at work in all manner of professions - from kindergarten teachers to physiotherapists on up to university professors. In our fellowship, we preach a powerful message which  revolutionizes life and defends Biblical truths. This acts as a heavy counterweight to forces that often are hostile to life and that are increasingly at work in our days.
What are the fruits of this revolutionary Christian message? Harmonious marriages without quarrelling and accusations, (our divorce rate is just about "zero"), generation gaps disappear, a heart-felt inseparable fellowship and unity, happy children's groups, and young people who are positively involved in activities etc.
