HOW TO LIVE WITHIN MARRIAGE? (3)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Husbands to know

a) There are so many Scripture passages that talk about not only husbands but both husbands and wives. There are many different elements and teachings about being a husband according to Scripture that men should be able to know and understand what God expects of us (men that are husbands). 

b) There are thoughts from both the old and new testaments that show men that we need to be the head of our households. 

c) We are clearly instructed to love our wives and given the example of that way that Jesus loves His bride (the church). 

1 Peter 3:7 
“Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.”

2. How To Live Within A Marriage

1 Corinthians 7:2  
But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

Ephesians 5:31 
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.

Hebrews 13:4  
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
