Join Dave and Bethlie discuss as they discuss part 2 of thei 4th book in this series. Solving Marriage Problems by Jay E. Adams.

Part 2

Chapter 5 - More Unbiblical concepts about marriage

1. One’s priorities must change radically with marriage.  
2. Marriage is a commitment to become a new person.

 

Chapter 6 deals with handling Stubborn Habits that wreck a marriage

1. A habit is dislodged only by crowding it out with its biblical alternative.
2. No change commanded by God is unrealistic for those who know Christ as their Savior and are willing to do things His way.

 

Chapter 7 deals with communication

1. Communication is essential for developing and maintaining the deep intimacy that God designed for the marriage relationship.
2. The Christian walk (subject of Ephesians 4-6) is not a solitary walk.  Harmony in walk requires harmony in talk.
3. Mishandled anger is one of he biggest hindrances to communication
   1. Clamming up
   2. Blowing up
4. Truth may hurt, but in the long run it will not hurt like a lie
5. And truth can be told to another, if it is relevant and spoken in the right manner

 

Chapter 10
