1:05
the story of Mark and Lisa a couple from
1:08
Ohio Mark and Lisa were high school
1:11
sweethearts who married young filled
1:14
with dreams of a bright future together
1:17
however as the years passed the
1:20
pressures of life began to weigh heavily
1:22
on their
1:23
relationship financial difficulties long
1:26
working hours and raising children left
1:29
them exhaust exhausted and
1:31
disconnected they argued frequently and
1:34
the love that once bound them seemed to
1:36
be fading
1:38
away one evening after a particularly
1:41
heeded argument Lisa broke down in tears
1:44
and cried out to God for help she felt
1:47
hopeless and didn't know how to save her
1:50
marriage as she prayed she was reminded
1:53
of First Corinthians chap 13: 4 to7
1:57
which says love is patient love is kind
2:01
it does not envy it does not boast it is
2:05
not proud it does not dishonor others it
2:08
is not self-seeking it is not easily
2:11
angered it keeps no record of wrongs
2:14
love does not Delight in evil but
2:17
rejoices with the truth it always
2:20
protects always trusts always hopes
2:24
always
2:25
perseveres this passage became a turning
2:28
point for Lisa she decided to change her
2:31
approach focusing on love and patience
2:34
rather than anger and
2:36
frustration she began praying for her
2:38
marriage daily and encouraged Mark to
2:40
join her they sought counsel from their
2:43
pastor and attended marriage workshops
2:46
together slowly but surely they started
2:48
to communicate better forgive each other
2:52
and rebuild their relationship on the
2:54
foundation of God's
2:56
love Mark and Lisa's story is a power
2:59
powerful reminder of how God's word and
3:02
prayer can transform even the most
3:05
troubled
3:06
marriages the Bible provides us with
3:09
Timeless guidance on how to nurture and
3:12
sustain our marital relationships
3:14
emphasizing love respect and mutual
3:19
commitment Ephesians 5:
3:22
25-28 instructs husbands husbands love
3:26
your wives just as Christ loved the
3:29
church and gave himself up for her to
3:31
make her holy cleansing her by the
3:34
washing with water through the word and
3:36
to present her to himself as a Radiant
3:39
Church Without stain or wrinkle or any
3:42
other blemish but holy and
3:45
blameless in this same way husbands
3:48
ought to love their wives as their own
3:51
bodies he who loves his wife loves
3:55
himself this passage emphasizes the
3:58
selfless sacrificial love that husbands
4:01
are called to show their wives mirroring
4:04
Christ's love for the church it
4:07
underscores the importance of Purity
4:09
Holiness and mutual respect in marriage
4:13
in 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 7 we read
4:17
husbands in the same way be considerate
4:20
as you live with your wives and treat
4:23
them with respect as the weaker partner
4:25
and as HS with you of the gracious gift
4:28
of life so that nothing will hinder your
4:31
prayers this verse reminds husbands to
4:34
be considerate and respectful
4:36
recognizing their wives as equal
4:39
Partners In God's Grace such respect and
4:42
consideration build a strong Foundation
4:45
of trust and love in marriage for wives
4:49
proverbs 31: 10 to2 provides a beautiful
4:53
description of a virtuous woman a wife
4:56
of noble character who can find she is
4:59
worth far more than rubies her husband
5:02
has full confidence in her and lacks
5:04
nothing of value she brings him good not
5:08
harm all the days of her life this
5:11
passage highlights the qualities of a
5:13
supportive and loving wife who brings
5:16
honor and stability to her marriage it
5:19
emphasizes the value of trust goodness
5:23
and dedication that a wife brings to the
5:26
relationship moreover Colossians 3: 18
5:30
to 19 advises wives submit yourselves to
5:34
your husbands as is fitting in the Lord
5:37
husbands love your wives and do not be
5:40
harsh with them this instruction
5:43
encourages Mutual submission and love
5:46
fostering an environment of respect and
5:49
Harmony submission here is not about
5:53
inferiority but about a willing loving
5:55
partnership that reflects Christ's
5:58
relationship with the church
6:00
these scriptures collectively paint a
6:02
picture of a marriage rooted in Divine
6:05
principles they call for love that is
6:08
patient and kind for respect that is
6:11
mutual and profound and for a commitment
6:15
that mirrors the unwavering dedication
6:17
of Christ to his church they challenge
6:20
us to look Beyond societal norms and
6:23
embrace a higher standard of marital
6:26
conduct one that is pleasing to God and
6:30
beneficial to our
6:31
relationships consider also the wisdom
6:34
of James 1: 19 to2 which states my dear
6:39
brothers and sisters take note of this
6:42
everyone should be quick to listen slow
6:45
to speak and slow to become angry
6:48
because human anger does not produce the
6:51
righteousness that God
6:53
desires these verses offer practical
6:55
advice for communication in marriage
6:59
being to listen and slow to speak helps
7:02
in understanding each other's
7:04
perspectives and reducing
7:06
conflicts this practice Fosters a
7:09
climate of respect and empathy which is
7:12
crucial for a healthy
7:14
marriage furthermore
7:17
Ecclesiastes 4:
7:20
9-2 highlights the strength found in
7:23
unity two are better than one because
7:27
they have a good return for their labor
7:29
if either of them falls down one can
7:32
help the other up but pity anyone who
7:35
falls and has no one to help them up
7:38
also if two lie down together they will
7:41
keep warm but how can one keep warm
7:44
alone though one may be overpowered two
7:48
can defend themselves a cord of three
7:51
strands is not quickly broken this
7:54
passage underscores the power of
7:56
partnership in marriage reinforcing the
7:59
idea that together with God as the third
8:02
strand couples can withstand any
8:06
challenge additionally Philippians 2: 3-
8:10
4 teaches do nothing out of selfish
8:14
ambition or vain conceit rather in

humility value others above yourselves
8:21
not looking to your own interest but
8:23
each of you to the interests of the
