In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil and Les talk about the biblical view of marriage and how spouses can meet each other’s emotional needs.

Men and women are equal, but not the same. We’re all created in the image and likeness of God, but the fact that we’re equal doesn’t mean we’re the same. Society fails to recognize and appreciate the differences between men and women and tries to teach us that equality means sameness.

Men and women have different emotional needs, and you must be willing to learn the emotional needs of your spouse and get to know them by being a student of them. These emotional needs are not learned, they’re innate needs we are born with.

In Song of Solomon, we see Solomon and the Shulamite compliment each other openly and make emotional deposits into each other’s accounts. These emotional deposits are how you fall in love. If you feel that you’ve fallen out of love, do the things that made you fall in love in the first place. When you feel like you don’t have the emotion, go back to the source of love: God! You can’t look to another human being to give you life when only the life-giver, Jesus, can give you love.

God holds love and marriage very dear because He is love. His character is love. As His image bearers, we were created to love and be loved. God demonstrated His love for us by sending Christ to die for us, and this is the sacrificial love men are to show their wives. This is why He takes the breaking of the marriage covenant so seriously.

Three types of love in your marriage:

Agape love – Loving your spouse unconditionally.

Eros love – Sexual love shared by a husband and wife.

Phileo – The love shared by close friends.

The biblical view of marriage says that wives submit to their husbands' leads, and husbands submit to their wives' needs. We don’t have any chance of submitting to another if we’re not submitting to God first.
