The Way to a Woman’s Heart #4 – The Three R’s

The Rib

Genesis 2:18 KJV 18  And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Genesis 2:21-22 KJV 21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

The Vow

I take you to be my wife (or husband), to have to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, to have and to cherish, love and obey, till death due us part, according to God’s holy law, and this is my sacred vow.

Ecclesiastes 5:5 KJV 5  Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

Fight or Flight

Isaiah 30:1-3 KJV 1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

Isaiah 30:13 KJV 13  Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

Isaiah 30:14 KJV 14  And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

Isaiah 30:16 KJV 16  But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

Isaiah 30:18 KJV 18  And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Can my prayers be hindered?

1 Peter 3:7 NLT 7 In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.

Matthew 6:11-13 KJV 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’…

What does God expect of the husband toward his wife?

Ephesians 5:25-33 KJV 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, because we are members of His body. FOR THIS REASON, A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. Nevertheless, everyone among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.

The three R’s

is critical in every relationship. Celebrate the good times and memories and learn from the bad times. Why did you fall in love?

Throughout the relationship, is required.

Asking God for strength and guidance to offer to our spouse when we feel we have been wronged.
