Message
FROM DEATH TO LIFE
“Marriage 101"
Ephesians 5:22-33
Introduction: Marriage should resemble the relationship between Christ and the Church. God’s plan for marriage is that two become one. (Matthew 19:6)
God’s Plan for Marriage:
Play your position – (Ephesians 5:22-25)
- o Wives Submitting (Ephesians 5:22-24)
- o Husbands Loving (Ephesains 5:23-24)(I Peter 3:7)
Love like Jesus loves you – (Ephesains 5:25-31)
- Jesus’ Love
John 3:16 – Sacrificial
John 13:1 – Intentional
Romans 5:8 – Unconditional
Romans 8:39 – Unending
Philippians 2:6-7 - Unselfish - Purifying Love (26-27)
- o Caring Love (28-30)
- o Enduring Love (31) (I Corinthians 13:4-8a)
To Need Each Other (Ephesians 5:32-33)
- The Wife Needs: To be loved
She desires…
- To have a spiritual leader
- To be cherished
- To have meaningful conversation
- To have a protector and a provider - The Husband Needs: To be respected
He feels respected…
- Through marital intimacy
- Home as a retreat & place of refuge (Proverbs 18:22)
- When as a wife you take care of yourself
- A lifelong companion and friend (Proverbs 31:10-12)
Application: Marriage is a covenant based upon trust, something that cannot be broken. Never lose this perspective.
