"Better as One"
Marriage is a 100% commitment, not a 50-50 contract.
Couples that keep score will never have a fulfilling marriage.
Ephesians 5:22-33
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Focusing on your spouse meeting your needs will always lead to disappointment
Submission is a gift to be offered not a command to be demanded
Mutual submission is a beautiful picture of the Gospel
Married Couples
Don’t just survive...COMMUNICATE
Don’t talk down to your spouse...especially in public
Take trips together...without the kids
Single but Looking
The wrong person is much worse than no person...don’t settle
Don’t marry someone you don’t trust...they must be “submit-worthy”
