Let’s talk about how to lead your wife. In a small-group setting, the discussion circled back around to our sin-beginnings and the inevitable finger-pointing at Eve. My wife, intrinsically knowing better, leaned over to me and whispered: “The buck stopped with Adam. He failed to lead.”
Love your wife. Not always so simple for today’s society. We have lost our families. Divorce is climbing at an alarming rate because men have lost the sight of just loving their wives. I know I know, we cannot be perfect. We are faced with temptations every day.
Are you intoxicated with your wife? A couple of weeks ago, this piece of scripture hit me and thumped me. As a husband, there are so many things that I struggle with, and one of those things is letting God’s word run my marriage.
Ever be intoxicated always in her love.
(Proverbs 5:19b.)
Here we’ll take a look at how Genesis shows the creation story and the beauty of marriage.
“I’m a self-made man! I got here by all the things I’ve done throughout my life.” Sound familiar? I’m sure you have either heard a man say this or even said some variation yourself. We tend to think we are in control despite that being far from the truth.
What Marriage Requires to Last? My grandparents showed me.
With the recent passing of my 89-year-old grandfather, I witnessed one of the saddest and most beautiful testaments to a life-long marriage. Shortly after his passing, I watched my grandmother sit and weep at my grandfather’s bedside. She spoke to him and told him how much she loved him, will miss him, and how they had many good times and bad. This was a marriage 68 years strong, unfathomable by many this day. As I watched, with tears in my eyes, I began to reflect on what marriage truly is.
Filtering God’s Word should never be the goal. One thing I’ve learned while reading the Bible and hearing God’s Word preached is its unchanging truth. What is real about God, and His word two thousand years ago is still accurate today.
1 John 4:1 — “Dear friend, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
