Ephesians 5:28-33
Today I want to share with you a message entitled, ''5 Truths to a Great Marriage.'' Almost every one of us can improve our marriages. Keep your Bibles open Ephesians, and we conclude our series When Two Become One this morning.
Thank you for joining us. Our hope is that this strengthens the marriages of our church and our community.
Today's Scripture
''Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 ''Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.'' 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. 33 However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband'' (Ephesians 5:25-33).
Marriage is often thought of as between two consenting adults and only those adults. Today, we think no one else has any say in a marriage. But the Bible says marriage is a covenant not just between the two people but with all of society. Your marriage matters to me, and my marriage matters to you.
