The Fulfilled Marriage

In our sermonette (a mini-sermon that is about 5-10 min's, listen above) today, we discussed the fulfilled marriage. With the divorce rates at soaring numbers, with the disappearing instatution of the home, with the media imposed idea of marriage, the time is long overdo that we return to a biblical position of marriage. The Bible teaches complementarianism. Comlementarianism is very accurately defined by Ligon Duncan when he said 'God has created men and women equal in their essential dignity and human personhood, but different and complementary in function with male headship in the home and in the Church.' May this sermonette bless you in your marriage, consider your ways.

Our text today is from Ephesians 5:22-28

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. [1] 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
