Behavior of a Gyroscope
The Gyroscope & Marriage
God designed marriage – to maintain ORIENTATION in three ways:
1. Husband and wife toward Him, 2. Husband and wife toward one another
3. Others toward God.
Couples struggle to maintain this godly orientation and can feel
disoriented by the magnitude of marital DESTABILIZERS or
STRESSORS.
