Deception, multiples loves and the passive husband. These are a recipe for an ugly marriage. That's what we'll be looking at on this episode of Married By Design.
In this weeks episode, we’re going to look at an ugly marriage. Again, this couple generally was following the Lord and God was going to use them greatly. But they also made some foolish choices that led to a very ugly marriage relationship.
It’s a story of Jacob and Rachel. Well, I guess I should say not just the story of Jacob and Rachel, but the story of Jacob and Rachel and Leah and the two handmaids that Jacob ended up having as his wives. That in itself shows you that there was a lot of foolishness involved in this marriage and a lot of damage that was done as a result.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read through these chapters of Genesis and discuss the foolishness Jacob and his wives demonstrated. There is the good example of Jacob’s love for Rachel. But there is the deception, the issue of multiple loves, using ungodly methods to get what you want, the passive husband. If one of those resonates at all, study it in more detail in the Bible.
