I am at liberty to
marry whomever I choose but it must be a sister in the Lord |
1Cor 7:39 |
|
|
Just as Jesus loves
and cares for his ‘bride’ the church so I will as a husband love and
cherish my wife, because we are partners together in Christ |
Eph 5:25-26; Col 3:19; 1Pet 3:7 |
|
|
As a wife I must
love and cherish my husband, submitting to him as representing
Christ who is the head of the Church |
Eph 5:23-24; Col 3:18; 1Pet 3:1 |
|
|
I must not seek a
divorce because this is against the commandments of Christ |
Matt 19:3-6, 9; Mark 10:2-12 |
|
|
I must be careful of
what relationships I have with those of the opposite gender and
beware I am not tempted to commit adultery because I know that
adultery will exclude me from the Kingdom of God |
1Cor 6:9 |
|
|
I know that husbands
and wives should remain together, but if parting for any reason must
seek to be reconciled |
1Cor 7:10-11 |
|
|
If I have come to
believe the gospel message, but my husband/wife is still an
unbeliever I must remain with them. Who knows if by my example I may
lead them to Christ? |
1Cor 7:12-16 |
|
|
I must bring up my
children according to the scriptures teaching them discipline and
respect. It is important that I teach them about the Word and ways
of God |

3:1 |
|
|
As a child it is my
duty to obey my parents in all things and respect them |
Eph 6:1; Col 3:20 |
