Listen Later

Have you seen those news stories of couples who’ve been married for 5, 6, or even 7 decades? What’s their secret? How did they make it? In this program, Chip shares the answer as he continues his series, Keeping Love Alive, Volume 4. Don’t miss how you can build a strong, life-long bond with your mate.

Main Points
Great marriages are characterized by couples who “give their mate what they need the most, when they deserve it the least, at great personal cost.”
  • Translation = Marriage is not a 50:50 proposition. Great marriages are built on loving our spouses in the same way Christ has loved us. --John 15:13; 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
  • The principle = You cannot give what you have not Received. --John 10:10
  • Biblical marriage (Ephesians 5:22-33) requires sacrificial, other-centered love that is humanly impossible, but supernaturally enabled as we receive a steady flow of God’s love in us. --1 John 3:16
  • Developing a life-giving relationship with God requires:
    • A spiritual birth. --John 3:1-7
    • A radical dedication. --Romans 12:1
    • A daily battle. --Romans 12:2
    • What do you need to believe about God’s character to experience His love and power?
      • His goodness. --Psalm 84:11
      • His gentleness. --Matthew 11:28-30
      • Conclusion: The greatest gift you can give your mate is becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ.
