Marriage Seminar: A Christian Marriage (Part 4)

In this last part of the marriage seminar, Apostle continues his teaching on Christian marriage, this time focusing on the privileges, responsibilities, and obligations that come with a godly union. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Ephesians 5:21-33, Malachi 2:14-16, and Hebrews 13:4, he explores how marriage provides financial stability, companionship, comfort, and spiritual defence against life's challenges. He emphasises that a successful marriage is built on mutual support, transparency, and collaboration between husband and wife, with God as the third strand in their covenant (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

Apostle also discusses the biblical expectations of husbands and wives, highlighting that husbands must love their wives as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25), while wives are called to submit to their husbands with respect (Ephesians 5:22-24). He addresses common marital pitfalls, such as lack of communication, separate living arrangements, and failure to prioritise unity. Additionally, he warns against the dangers of sexual immorality (Hebrews 13:4) and highlights God's judgment on those who break their marriage covenant (Malachi 2:14-16). We trust you have been blessed by this seminar, and we pray it inspires you to build strong Christian marriages—with Christ at the very centre of it all.
