This promise is not made to be broken. In the end times, we are living in enemy\u2019s agenda is to break that convent and destroy families. By destroying marriages, the enemy destroys the next generation and the destinies of the children.<br><br>This is the reason ICCR has couple\u2019s meetings for married couples. And also mentoring meetings for younger couples to follow God\u2019s precepts. We also stand in prayer and encourage the separated men and women to stand in that covenant till the end.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about the sacred bond of marriage covenant through ICCR&#8217;s Couple&#8217;s Ministry.
