Whatever your marital status ... God does have a plan for your life. 

But there's no denying that with all the opinions out there on marriage, divorce, and singleness ... knowing what's right, what's wrong, and what's best for Christians can be very confusing.  

That's why this month, John MacArthur examines Scripture to provide us with important Guidelines for Singleness and Marriage.  We'll learn what God's Word says about the path to marriage, divorce and remarriage, the blessings of being single, and yes, dealing with sexual temptation. Encourage your listeners to tune in to "Grace ...

These are just a few of the subjects being discussed on "FamilyLife Today" in February!  Take a look:

• Love, Sex & Lasting Relationships (with Chip Ingram)
• Speaking Your Spouse's Love Language (with Gary Chapman)
• Start Your Family (with Steve/Candice Watters)
• In-Laws, Mates, and Money (with Tommy Nelson)

And be sure to tune in for a special two-day interview with Eric Metaxas, the author of "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy."  Whether or not you've read Metaxas' book, you're sure to be inspired after hearing him talk about the life and ministry of this German pastor of the 30s ...

This last winter break, Carolyn and I had a wonderful time with our families. We enjoyed the deep sense of security and comfort that only comes from being around loved ones. There was need to 'do' anything. We were able to simply 'be ourselves.' It was amazing! Thankfully, I also have this type of relationship with God.

I love how God works! On Friday, January 20, 2012, this year's Sanctity of Human Life Sunday was kick-started with a breathtaking story that was covered by news outlets across the world - the discharging of Melinda Star Guido from the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center.
