My husband and I just celebrated our first wedding anniversary. My husband traveled Mon-Fri for 2 years of our relationship and when we got married was still traveling- 3 months in we found out we were moving and his traveling was over. So this year, we moved cross country twice, added 2 puppies to our little family and had our share of ups and downs. Going in to this next year of marriage, there is a lot we need to learn, absorb and change. What better way to do this then to enlist God's help by shining His Word on our relationship? I am a firm believer that in order to fully live, you must give everything to God.
Each week, I will dig deep into the marriages (chronologically) from the Bible. I truly feel like they are written in God's Word so that we may learn and live our life accordingly. Whether you are married or single, I would love for you to join me. And would absolutely love feedback and/or questions.
Our goal for this study is found in Ephesians 5:33 (verses 22-33 cover Paul's description of marriage if you would like to take a peak),
"However, let each man of you [without exception] love his wife as [being in a sense] his very own self; and let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates, and esteems him; and that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly].
It is my goal to do all of these things for my husband and likewise him to me. I pray through this study that we learn through others how to have a God-centered and successful marriage.
Happy Friday! Hope you join me or pop in from time to time on this journey!
Side Note: All scripture will be used from the Amplified Version of the Bible unless I note differently.
2nd Side Note: I am in no way a Bible scholar, I just love the Word and love digging deep into it. And I will share the books, etc that I use to do so! :) I will use The Chronological Guide to the Bible (Published by Thomas Nelson, Inc) A LOT- I purchased from LifeWay and recommend to everyone!
3rd and Final Side Note: Starting February 1st, we will cover Adam & Eve, their decedents and possibly start the Patriarchs, if you would like to read their stories beforehand.
