3/16/25 - The Proverbs 31 Marriage - Pastor Jason Fritz


Listen Later

This Sunday, we’re turning to the book of Proverbs to explore God’s design for husbands and wives. The modern family has undergone significant redefinitions, yet stability and fulfillment seem more elusive than ever. While society offers competing narratives, Scripture presents a clear and timeless vision. Proverbs 31 paints a picture of a strong, virtuous wife, while the rest of Proverbs offers wisdom for husbands - calling them to integrity, faithfulness, and sacrificial leadership. Marriage is not a competition but a covenant, and when both husband and wife embrace God’s design, the home flourishes. Some may read Proverbs 31 and feel overwhelmed rather than encouraged. But this passage is not a checklist of impossible standards; it is a lifelong picture of Godly character, cultivated by God’s grace. True strength comes not from striving for perfection but from trusting in the Lord. Husbands, our role is to cultivate an environment where our wives can thrive, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her. Wives, your strength and wisdom are a gift that builds up your family. Together, a Godly marriage is not only possible but profoundly beautiful when rooted in biblical wisdom. As we prepare to dive into this text, I challenge each of us to reflect on our roles within our families. Husbands, are you leading with integrity, love, and sacrifice? Wives, are you embracing the strength and wisdom that God has given you? And for those who are not yet married, are you preparing your heart to walk in God’s wisdom? May we all look to Christ, the perfect example of love and leadership, as we seek to build marriages and homes that honor Him.
