When you start a family, Satan picks a fight

Main message: Believing and marrying doesn't remove difficulty; in fact, when Christians commit to Jesus and to church, Satan increasingly targets their marriages and families. Couples should expect spiritual opposition to their relationship because marriage is a high-value target.

Key points:

• Marriage is hard because it involves two imperfect, broken people.
• When people follow Jesus (baptism/joining the church), they become a clear target for spiritual attack.
• Starting a family or committing publicly elevates a marriage on Satan’s "priority list."
• Satan specifically hates Christian marriage because God values marriage.
• A warning to couples: wholehearted involvement in church may increase attacks on your marriage.
