When the Vow Breaks
By Linda S. Mintle, Ph.D.
Jack Hayford, gifted pastor, teacher and speaker, posed the question: "Do marriage vows matter?" It's an important question that deserves more discussion.

By Lisa Jones Townsel
Last August, within a single 48-hour period, breaking stories about two ministry couples lit up the news with headlines like these that appeared in newspapers, magazines and Internet reports across the country: "Georgia televangelist assaulted by preacher husband in Atlanta"; "Co-pastors of Tampa megachurch split."

Not surprisingly, the details of the two separate stories fueled plenty of TV talk shows, blogs, radio broadcasts and office water-cooler huddles. What was surprising, however, was that these stories involved prominent Christians respected by many people for their nationally popular ministries. ... Read More
