Going the Distance

Agape. Philia. Eros. Serve your wife. Be her friend. Celebrate your holy union with passion.

Of course, this is all much easier to do when your wife follows Jesus, too—which is why God’s Word warns Christians not to marry non-Christians—but, even if your wife isn’t a follower of Christ, it is important that you continue to approach your marriage as the opportunity to glorify God that it is. If your wife is lost, your allowing God to love her through you could actually lead to her salvation.

Keep on keeping on. No matter how your wife responds, love her like Jesus loved the Church. Give yourself up for her. Lead her by example. Recognize your marriage for the blessing it is and make it a priority.

If your wife doesn’t know Jesus yet, ask God to draw and rescue her and He will. How can you be sure that He will? The Bible tells us that God doesn’t want anyone to die separated from Him and perish in Hell. It also tells us that He answers prayers of His faithful ones, the prayers that line up with His will, with a great big, “Yes!”

 

  • Is your wife a Christian?
    • If not, what do you need to pray for?
    • If so, what do you need to thank God for?
  • How might loving your wife well advance the Gospel?
  • Is it worth the effort?

 

Read 1 Corinthians 7:12-17, 1 Timothy 2:3-4, and 1 John 5:14-15.

Becoming The Husband She Needs

Are you married?  If so, congratulations!  You have been blessed.  Your wife is a gift from God (Proverbs 18:22), and no matter the state of your marriage at present, the covenant relationship you share with her is a God-ordained privilege.  This privilege of marriage comes with responsibility, not only to your spouse, but also to God, as marriage itself is a metaphor for Jesus’ relationship to the Church.  Want to glorify God and help advance the Gospel?  Learn how to love your wife well!
