What is important in marriage?

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: What is important in marriage?

Submit to each other –

Love and respect – "Each of you also must love his wife as he loves himself and the wife must respect her husband." Ephesians 5.33

Submission is a sign of both love and respect for others. Bill Bright, who with God’s help built one of the largest ministries ever – Campus Crusade, at the end of a meeting would always ask "what can I do for you." Imagine a busy founder and CEO of a major ministry asking the person he is talking to "what can I do for you." Yet, this is a sign of love and respect for the other person. It gets other people’s attention and it is amazing the results that submission to others can achieve.

Submission does have its limits. In terms of intimacy, one only submits to one’s spouse.

James 4:7 KJV
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Colossians 3:18 KJV
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Ephesians 5:21 KJV
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Ephesians 5:22 KJV
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, DESTROY EVERY SPIRIT OF PROUD AND STOURBONESS OF HEART IN OUR RELATIONSHIP IN JESUS NAME
