Uninvited Guests - Speaking Your Spouse'...

Living on the Edge
About this episode

In Genesis 2, we read about how God uniquely created men and women. Those differences can loom so large at times that it is almost as if the sexes are from entirely different planets. In this program, Chip explains how couples can bridge the gap between each other to communicate effectively, understand each other’s needs, and navigate challenges together. Discover how to have a thriving, God-honoring relationship with your spouse.

Foundational Marriage Truths

Foundational truth #4 (for men):

  • I will choose to LOVE my wife today in a SPECIFIC and SACRIFICIAL way that is meaningful to her. She is God’s gift to me and I will CHERISH her just as Christ loves His bride, the Church.

Key verse:

  • Ephesians 5:28-29

Foundational truth #5 (for women):

  • I will choose to ENCOURAGE and RESPECT my husband today in a specific and sacrificial way that is meaningful to him. He is God’s gift to me and I will BUILD HIM UP with my words and actions for the glory of Christ.

Key verse:

  • Proverbs 31:10-12
