7 Day Study: A Heart For Marriage

 
Day 1: Genesis 2:5-25
What better way to start than at the beginning – the creation of man and woman. One of the things that always stuck out most to me was how God truly provided for Adam. He saw that man was not good alone, and created Eve. It reminds me of how God knows everything about us and provides for us – even a spouse.
 
Day 2: Ecclesiastes 4: 7-12
This passage reminds me of the purpose of marriage – to come together to help one another in Christ and share Christ with others.”Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” In marriage, your partner is also your helpmate and friend that can come alongside you and compliment you.
 
Day 3: Ephesians 5:21-33
“Submit to one another our of reverence for Christ”. This passage gives insight into the equal, defined roles of a husband and wife. It also happens to be the scripture read at our wedding.
 
Day 4: Proverbs 31:10-31
Love this passage about a Godly woman/wife. I know some people say it seems unattainable but my goal is to strive toward this daily. Studying this really gives you a refresher on the role of a wife and to me demonstrates sacrificial love and humility.
 
Day 5: Colossians 3
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters”. Without the power of Christ, I think we fail at life and our marriage. This passage really spoke to me about living for Christ in all I do.
