The institution of marriage may be at risk
HUSBANDS AND WIVES
Equal but different roles
Submission and love
A WIFE’S RESPONSIBILITY
Submit to husband’s leadership
Why do wives find this difficult to do? (Genesis 3:16; 4:7)
“Submit as to the Lord”
A HUSBAND’S RESPONSIBILITY
Love as Christ loves the church (John 15:13)
When a marriage is not working, it harms both partners
WORDS FOR THOSE WHO ARE SINGLE
(Hebrews 13:4)
TWO IMPORTANT THOUGHTS
It is up to the wife to choose to submit to her husband
Your marriage can be a beautiful reflection of the gospel that points people to Jesus
