Our lesson this morning is about Marriage and Missions. Our scripture is from Ephesians 5:25 - 30. The scripture tells husbands to love their wife as Christ loved the church. He gave Himself up completely for the church. The scripture also says love your wife as you do your own body. He who loves his wife loves himself. Man shall then leave his mother and father and hold fast to his wife. God does not focus all of the attention on the husbands. He goes on to tell the wives to respect their husbands. The important thing to remember is for the relationship with husband and wife to work, they must both be right in their walk with God. Even in the strongest relationships, the devil can sneak in. Be aware and keep your relationships strong by modeling Ephesians 5:25 - 30. As you go this week, think of your relationship with your spouse. Are you modeling this scripture? If not, what can you do to change that. God has given each of us a person to travel the journey of life with. Make sure you are putting the most into the relationship God has blessed you with.
