Introductions
Respect what the Bible says about husbands and wives.
- Isaiah 55:8-9 – God knows best!
- Malachi 2:14
- I Corinthians 11:3; I Peter 3:1-6; Ephesians 5:22-30; Colossians 3:18 – Man is to be the head of the household. The woman is submissive to the leadership of the husband. This is God’s way and it is right! Husbands, if you are mistreating your wife, your prayers are being hindered!
- Proverbs 21:19 – Try to avoid this kind of relationship!
There’s a time for everything, and some things are only designed for marriage.
- Hebrews 13:4
- Matthew 16:24
- Matthew 5:27-30
- Sin may give you passing pleasure, but sin is never good!
Look at their proven character more than their promises.
- I Timothy 3:4
- II Peter 1:5
- Proverbs 31:30
- Psalms 14:1; Proverbs 1:7 – Don’t marry a fool!
- I Samuel 25:3, 10-11 – Abigail was married to a fool!
Have a little grace!
- Genesis 3:6 – People make mistakes.
- We all need grace and forgiveness.
