Here are some items that may be helpful for your review as we head into session 10.
KEY IDEAS:
- Often, the differences that were attractive in courtship become irritating in marriage.
- Spouses fall into thinking that they would make a better creator than the Creator.
- God has ruled over all the past situations that have formed the way your spouse lives.
- The ultimate purpose of marriage is not personal happiness; it is redemptive holiness.
- Marriage will reveal that your spouse is a sinner – how will you react to that revelation?
- If you ever see or hear the sin of your spouse, it’s never an interruption – it’s always grace!
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
- Why do the differences of my spouse irritate me so much? What does the irritation reveal about the idols of my heart?
- Why might the life story (upbringing, culture, etc) of my spouse irritate me? Why should I be worshipful instead?
- Why does the sin of my spouse irritate me so much?Am I unwilling to love, even though He first loved me?
