Title: Relationship Goals (1) - Christ-Centered
Genesis 2:18 NLT
Genesis 2:21-24 NLT
When people look at a relationship and say, “I want that”, it’s important to remember there are things beyond what they see – perspective is key.
The Myth of "the One":
You do not need another person to complete you.
You are complete in Christ.
In a Christ-centered marriage, Jesus is your ONE, and your spouse is your TWO.
Matthew 22:36-37 NIV
You don’t build a life of righteousness in the future, on a foundation of sin today.
The Highest Return Action to become more Christ-centered in your relationships:
PRAY WITH YOUR SPOUSE EVERY DAY
HOW to pray with your spouse:
1. Keep it short.
2. Keep it consistent.
3. If you miss a day, don’t miss two.
A prayer to pray with your spouse:
Dear God,
Give us wisdom and clear direction in all we do today. Help us to show Your love to each other and to shine Your light into the world. Keep us close to You, away from temptation, and always in Your will.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
