Making Marriage Work

Marriage Is Work! All relationships are. Prov. 17:17 - A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Prov. 27:6 - Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. Vs. 17 - Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

Marriage Is Work! Finding A Good Woman Prov. 18:22 - He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. Prov. 31:10 - An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. Vs. 29 - "Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all."

Marriage Is Designed To Bring Glory To God Gen. 1:27 - So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Even perversions of marriage testify to this. Eph. 5:22, 25 – Commands!

Difficulties In Marriage Are A Blessing James 1:2ff - Count it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. Gen. 3:16 - To the woman he said, "I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."

Difficulties In Marriage Are A Blessing The Problem was a “Reversal of Roles.” Gen. 4:7 - If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it."

So What’s The Solution? Col. 3:9-10 - Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its Creator. Eph. 4:24 - And put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

So What’s The Solution? REVIVE YOUR MARRIAGE! Deny Self – Mt. 16:24 How did God treat His bride? Hosea 2 Love – Mt. 5:43-48 “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” REVIVE YOUR MARRIAGE!
