On the last episode we talked about the reality of spiritual warfare as foster and adoptive parents.

The reality is, when you said yes to this calling a war cry was issued against you by the enemy because you stepped into something he delighted to destroy - to take part in the ministry of reconciliation.

Oftentimes the attack is aimed at your marriage because the enemy knows a husband and wife unified in their obedience to their calling is a force to be reckoned with.

In today's episode I will share 5 ways to safeguard what is sacred - your marriage!
