Read Ephesians 5:21-19 How are you enjoying the lessons. I did forget mention that my points are coming from a booklet Dr Jack Hyles wrote. I believe that in today's world we occasionally need a reminder of how our marriages should be. So many think homosexuals, lesbians are acceptable. I may be sticking my neck out by saying its WRONG but if we don't take a stand for right, who will?!
Here's the last 5 points to our first part of Marriage is a commitment not an agreement.
16. Go out on a weekly date with your spouse. I've been married for 20 yrs and I could probably count on one hand the number of times we didn't have our weekly date! Those date nights are so very crucial for a marriage. There has been times that the date night was a life saver, as well as refreshing spending time with my husband without the children.
Don't be afraid to get a sitter for your children you will be grateful you did this!
17. One of the marriage partners should care for the couples finances, and the other should live on an allowance.
18. Do not have joint bank accounts.
19. Do not try to be a good mate; try to give your spouse what he or she needs.
20. Apply to your spouse all Bible verses about the treatment of others.
The last 4 I've not touched on as much an they must be something that you do after prayer and talking with your spouse about changes.
These are very simple principles which has been taught to many many couples. If you will follow them they will work! I pray that your marriage will see changes because of these 20 steps.
