Disinterested and irresponsible parents, sullen and rebellious children, battered wives and babies, adultery, incest, fornication, drug-abuse, alcoholism and a total lack of communication are evils which are commonplace these days in homes throughout the world. Even more distressing is the fact that most of these problems are escalating out of control, despite the valiant efforts being made to contain them. </div> <bR> <div> Perhaps you live in a home where one or more of these problems exist: where genuine love is a fading memory and peace a total stranger: a home which has become a verbal battleground between husband and wife, abbah and ben, em and daughter (bath), brother and sister: a home where ridicule has replaced respect and where physical or mental cruelty is the norm. </div> <bR> <div> If you do, then take courage because all is not lost. For, incredible as this may sound, it is still possible even at a very late stage to reverse such a trend and to turn your home into a sanctuary of true love and peace; a place where every member of the family is welcomed and valued. </div> <bR> <div> How can this seemingly impossible objective be achieved? </div> <bR> <div> The answer is so simple that there is a real danger you may dismiss it with a shrug of unbelief. But don't do that, because this remedy really does work and multiplied millions of believers through the ages have applied it with success. Here is the remedy - a spiritual formula - in a single sentence. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Have Faith in Jah, your Heavenly Abbah and prayerfully put into practice His advice concerning family life.</B></div> <bR> <div> This basic instruction - so childishly simple though it sounds - really does work.</div> <bR> <div>  So we at the<B> Zion </B><B>As</B><B>sembly of Jah </B><B>“respectfully urge all readers”</B> to give it a try: for who is better qualified to advise on family life than the Creator himself; the one who designed the family unit in the first place.

And not only is it going to succeed, but with Jah's help it will be so happy that in time it will begin to reflect the beautiful relationship that He is to have with His Assembly (The Body/ church). The following scriptural passages make these points clear and show how sacred and enduring the marriage bond really is. Read them each time you are tempted to think otherwise!

The Holy Scriptures has some invaluable advice about communications; about <B>how</B> we should talk to one another. Remember that people cannot see your motives; nor are they able to read your thoughts. All they can initially assess you by are the words you speak and <B>how you speak them.</B></div> <bR> <div> It is no good blundering through life saying what you don't mean, and meaning what you don't say. You must learn <B>how</B> to communicate with others - especially your own family - if you want to be happy.</div> <bR> <div> In short, you must learn <B>how to speak</B>, with the right <B>tone</B>, without insinuations, sarcasm and back-bitings, this is not an easy thing, Scripture says “No man has tamed the tongue”. Believe me your very happiness in coming years and possibly even your job depends upon it. Yes communications are that important.
