Pearls and Promises for Your MarriageSample

KNOW GOD'S HEART

Read 1 Corinthians 11:1-16.
Paul is addressing submission when he refers to women covering their heads with hats or hair. Women rarely wear hats to church in our culture; however, the underlying message remains the same. Wives are not to act independently of their husband nor go ahead of him in matters within the church body. What are your thoughts and feelings about this?

TAKE IT TO HEART

Read 1 Corinthians 11:10.

Slowly and prayerfully read through today's Scripture. Copy and paste it into an email or text to yourself and/or write it on a 3x5 card and post it where you will see it - on your refrigerator, by your desk, or on your mirror. Hide it in your heart and meditate on it today.

SHARE GOD'S HEART

Plan to make your husband a special dinner within the next week. Set aside time for just the two of you to eat alone. Make every effort to get yourself ready ahead of time: the children to bed, the house picked up, fresh flowers on the table, candles lit, and quiet music playing in the background. Jot a few notes of things to tell him during your time together, including his commendable character traits and the responsibilities he does faithfully, etc. Let him know how much you appreciate and respect him even though you may not always show him.
