Defending Marriage & Church Care

Weddings can be expensive, and so are divorces - in more ways that one. Yet, while demanding sacrifice, loving and stable marriages are priceless and reap immense social and economic benefits.

It's not often you can put a price tag on emotions, but the love on which marriage and family is founded is so much more than a feeling - it's a choice rooted in our God-breathed nature and nourished by faith. Dave Mann from the Shining Lights Trust explains that, despite facing online backlash and misplaced anger, the Church at its best is the natural go-to for marriage and family support.

Andrew Urquhart spoke with Dave Mann during Marriage Week, an initiative uniting church-based organisations across New Zealand to promote marriage, parenting and family support courses.
