Uninvited Guests - Why Marriage Still Matters


Listen Later

In this program, hear what the research reveals about cohabitation and long-term relationships, and why this sacred covenant is so much more than just a simple piece of paper.

Fighting lies with truth

Lie #3:

  • Marriage is merely a man-made set of rules and restrictions. I can tailor my marriage however I want to fit my needs.

The truth:

  • Marriage is an institution created by God. He designed it with specific guidelines and roles to provide SPIRITUAL, EMOTIONAL, and PHYSICAL intimacy as a family’s foundation.

Key verse:

  • Genesis 2:24-25

Lie #4 (for men):

  • Until my wife shows me the respect and physical affection that I need, she shouldn’t expect me to step up and lead my family God’s way.

The truth:

  • It is tempting to wait for my wife to do her part before I do mine. But the only person I can change is ME. Transformation will occur when I FOCUS on being the HUSBAND God wants me to be.

Key verse:

  • Ephesians 5:25

Lie #5 (for women):

  • Until my husband takes the initiative in the financial, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our relationship, he shouldn’t expect me to show him the respect and affection God calls me to as a wife.

The truth:

  • It is tempting to wait for my husband to do his part before I do mine. But the only person I can change is ME. Transformation will occur when I FOCUS on being the WIFE God wants me to be.

Key verse:

  • Ephesians 5:22-24
