Psalm 54:4 – 4 God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life.
2. WIVES ARE CALLED TO *SUBMISSION BUT HUSBANDS ARE CALLED TO *SACRIFICE
Ephesians 5:25 – 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,
3. GOD *USES MARRIAGE TO *MAKE US MORE LIKE *JESUS
Ephesians 5:25-26 NASB – 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
“Marriage is the greatest anvil of sanctification in the world — and that is no accident. Nothing has shown me my sin like marriage, and nothing has given opportunities for grace like marriage.”
John Piper
