Here are some items that may be helpful for your review as we head into session 10.

KEY IDEAS:

  1. Often, the differences that were attractive in courtship become irritating in marriage.
  2. Spouses fall into thinking that they would make a better creator than the Creator.
  3. God has ruled over all the past situations that have formed the way your spouse lives.
  4. The ultimate purpose of marriage is not personal happiness; it is redemptive holiness.
  5. Marriage will reveal that your spouse is a sinner – how will you react to that revelation?
  6. If you ever see or hear the sin of your spouse, it’s never an interruption – it’s always grace!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

  1. Why do the differences of my spouse irritate me so much? What does the irritation reveal about the idols of my heart?
  2. Why might the life story (upbringing, culture, etc) of my spouse irritate me? Why should I be worshipful instead?
  3. Why does the sin of my spouse irritate me so much?Am I unwilling to love, even though He first loved me?
