BUILDING A GREAT MARRIAGE
!!!
The wives are designed by God to be a helper and companion to man,
that's the reason God created Eve, because Adam was lonely, " And the
Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make
him an help meet for him" Gen; 2:18.
If you want
a great marriage, you’ve got to work at it every day. The Bible gives
us God’s blueprint for one: “Be courteously reverent to one another.
Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your
support for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife in the
way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So
just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership,
wives should likewise submit to their husbands. Husbands, go all out in
your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church. Christ’s
love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything He
does and says is designed to bring the best out in her...And that is how
husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a
favor—since they’re already ‘one’ in marriage. No one abuses his own
body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That’s how Christ treats us,
the church, since we are part of His body. And this is why a man leaves
father and mother and cherishes his wife. No longer two, they become
‘one flesh.’ This is a huge mystery, and I don’t pretend to understand
it all. What is clearest to me is the way Christ treats the church. And
this provides a good picture of how each husband is to treat his wife,
loving himself in loving her, and how each wife is to honor her husband”
(vv. 21-33 TM). That’s how to build a great marriage!
