MARRIAGE (3)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Bible Topic

a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.

2. Marriage

a) A husband is the head of the wife, as God the Father is the head of Christ. It's in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 11:3, NKJV. "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God."

b) Are wives to submit to everything their husband says? As long as it does not go against God’s Word. It’s in the Bible, Colossians 3:18, NKJV. “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.”

c) What should love look like in a marriage? It’s in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, NKJV. “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

d) “The Bible forbids physical or verbal abuse of one’s spouse. It’s in the Bible, Colossians 3:19, NIV. “Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”

e) In order to have a successful marriage, settle misunderstandings at once. It’s in the Bible, Ephesians 4:26, TLB. “If you are angry, don’t sin by nursing your grudge. Don’t let the sun go down with you still angry—get over it quickly.”

f) Keep the relationship growing in unity and understanding. It’s in the Bible, Ephesians 4:2-3, NKJV. “with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.



The End ...
