Built on the Rock

A Godly Marriage

Ephesians 5:21-33

 

“And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”  - Ephesians 5:21

Biblical submission – a voluntary decision to honor another in a particular way.

 FIRST BIG ROCK – Spiritual

 Three Things That Worked for Us:

1)   Church involvement

2)   Individual “Chair Time”

3)   Iron Sharpeners

 

SECOND BIG ROCK – Emotional

Men don’t think like women; and women don’t think like men.

 Three Suggestions:

1)   Listen with your face

2)   You don’t have to tell him EVERYTHING

3)   How and when you communicate matters

 

THIRD BIG ROCK – Financial

Tithing is a “big rock” (within a “big rock”).  If you don’t get it in first, you won’t get it in at all.

Four Suggestions:

1)   Don’t spend more than you make

2)   General Rule:  Debt is not good

3)   Joint Effort

4)   Budget

 

FOURTH BIG ROCK – Physical

Don’t __________ another woman (man) in a way that you would not want someone else to __________ your wife (husband).

 

Final Thought:  Press on!
