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!
