Husband Wife Society’s Understanding

God HusbandWife What The Bible Reveals

to live in a covenant of life-long commitment...

so they might grow into oneness under Christ’s Lordship.

In the beginning Adam and Eve are right with God and with each other.

They are tempted to establish their independence from God The Lie that Satan feeds them is: “God is holding out on you!” Adam and Eve and all of us have chosen to rebel against God

As human beings we are separated from God and from people We live in a self-centered world & society “we are consumed with wanting MY way” In marriage, we struggle to relate to our spouse in the way that God created us to relate to them

Understanding what the Gospel means for marriage begins with understanding what the Gospel has done for us personally.

Facing the reality of my sin, separation, and hopelessness So that I’m able to experience the miracle of God’s love and grace So that I can place my trust—not in myself—but in what God has done for me in His Son Jesus Christ

The more we trust in what God has done for us, the more we are transformed by God’s power The more we trust, the more we belong to Him and live under Christ’s Lordship The more we trust, the more our inner character becomes like Christ and the more our will is focused on God’s Kingdom The more we trust, the more we are able to relate to others in the same way that Almighty God relates to us = truth, grace, forgiveness, agape (unconditional) love!

We understand that the first way our relationship with God is expressed is in our relationship with our spouse. Instead of being self-centered, we’re being set free so that we’re more able to focus on our spouse and fulfill our God- given responsibilities as husband and wife. Regardless of feelings or circumstance, we love, serve, and are committed to our spouse. We communicate constructively with our spouse. “The issue is not about me winning” We are able to forgive our spouse. “A good marriage is made up of two good forgivers.” We take steps to grow in our faith and marriage. We trust God in all that we face in life.
