As we finish up our study on marriage and the curse, Pastor Jeff sends a special message to husbands, encouraging them not to be dictators over their families.

Are you struggling with an unsaved spouse? Prayer can effect major changes! Beseech the Lord, and be a loving and Christ-like example for your spouse no matter how difficult the situation is. Remember when the angel of the Lord wiped out 185,000 Assyrians? Nothing is too big for God.

Our lives have many ups and downs, and the same is true of marriage. However, God constantly brings about regeneration.

Two is better than one! God knows this — that’s why he created marriage. Many single individuals struggle with knowing how to find the right mate, but Pastor Jeff counsels us to let God do the finding. Pray for God’s will to be done and leave the hard work to Him. Once you do enter into marriage, it’s for life, and it’s good because God created it.

God seeks to bless our homes, but Satan wants to destroy them. Nowadays, marriage is entered into lightly, and studies show that most couples are not content! So what is the secret to a happy marriage? Pastor Jeff reminds us that forewarned is forearmed. God’s Word is the manual by which we should pattern our marriages.

When God created Adam, He knew it wasn’t good for the man to be alone. Because of this, God created marriage. Both the husband and the wife have important roles in marriage. As Pastor Jeff continues teaching in Ephesians 5, we learn exactly what those roles are and why they are vital to having a healthy, Christian marriage.
