Marriage Relationships in the Kingdom of God God wants you to operate your relationships according to His system instead of the world's system. Marriage is a covenant relationship that, when established God's way, will be blessed and helps you to accomplish God's will on earth. Husbands and wives should focus on fulfilling their roles according to the Word of God so that the marriage functions properly (Ephesians 5:21-33). 1. Husbands and wives are to submit to one another because it is right in God's sight. 2. Submission means getting under and supporting the mission of another person. 3. The biggest change you can make in any relationship is within yourself. 4. The husband is the head of the family. a. To be the head does not mean controlling, abusing or dominating your wife. b. The controlling person actually has no control over his or her emotions. c. Headship is leadership. i. Maintain your headship while at the same time involving your wife in the decision-making process. d. Men must guard against an Ahab spirit that lets the wife take the role as the head. e. The husband's first responsibility in the home is to be the spiritual leader. i. A real leader matures in the love of God. ii. Fathers should raise their children to know how to walk in love forgiveness. iii. Fathers should spend time with their children so that they know how they should relate with others. 5. A woman's number one need is security. a. If a husband provides his wife with everything she needs, she will feel secure. b. Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church. i. A husband's unconditional love for his wife will change what needs be changed in her. ii. There is nothing your wife does that should make you stop loving her |
