  4. Relationships begin with “Being Filled With the Spirit” 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, Obedience to the Word, results in: • Joy speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;  • Thankfulness always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;and • Submission be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

  5. Holy Spirit Filled Relationships

  6. God’s Plan for Marriage Genesis 2:18Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”

  7. Enmity in Relationships Genesis 3:16To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” Man to dominate Woman to be in control

  8. Spirit Filled Relationship This generation is the BEST TIME to be married!

  9. 1 Peter 3 on Husbands You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

  10. 1 Peter 3 on Husbands

  11. Husbands "Husbands, love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her that He might sanctify her having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing but that she should be holy and blameless. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself."

  12. Love your wife as Christ loved the church • Agape love • Does not push his love on us (tyrant) • love because I choose to love • Not because of what they deserve, or what I get in return • Sacrificial Love • He gave himself up for the church • Submissive • Sanctifies • Protects from defilement • Builds up • Involved in the details

  13. Love your wife as Christ loved the church Biblical Marriage is Counter Cultural Inseparable • Divorce was very common in Roman days • Cato, writing about Roman Law, said, “If you catch your wife in an act of infidelity, you can kill her without a trial. • “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword?” “Neither death, life, angels, principalities, things present, things to come, powers, height, depth, any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Rom 8 The words mean different things • Love • Head, leader

  14. Husbands Love Your Wives 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and  • gave Himself up for her, so that • He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that • He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.

  15. Husbands Love Your Wives So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes to provide what will bring • life • growth • well-being cherishes it, to make warm

  16. Husbands Love Your Wives • The wife is not told to nourish and cherish the man. • A man should not see his wife as • the source of provision for himself • a cook • a washer woman • a babysitter • the physical partner. • Man has to see his wife as a treasure to care for…a treasure to care for, to cherish,

  17. Husbands Love Your Wife • How can I minister to my wife? • How can I meet the needs that my wife has? • How can I provide all that she needs? • How can I make this marriage a haven of security and rest and fulfillment and joy for her?” Husbands don’t lead because the wife submits, he leads so she will want to submit

  18. Harmonize“Love Your Wife”and“Be Filled With the Spirit” • You can not do it in your own strength • Take your eyes off your wife, and focus on Him. • Be continually filled with the Spirit (Obey the Word) • Let Christ love, nourish and cherish your wife through you • Thankfully obey • Love is a verb, not a noun

  19. Being Continually Filled with the Spirit is the only hope of success for a husband Being Continually Filled with the Spirit is the only hope of success in a relationship
