THINGS TO AVOID IN MARRIAGE
WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 7th
TEXT: EPHESIANS 5: 22-26
Key verse: 1 Peter 4: 8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1. Avoid Pride. Pride goes before a fall. Do not become proud because of your beauty. Do not be proud because you earn a lot of money. Do not be proud because you are from a royal family and the other person is from a poor family. Do not allow these things to affect your attitude. They are immaterial. Your spouse is saved by grace. You are saved by grace. Your spouse has access to the God of heaven as you have access to the God of heaven. Who maketh thee to differ one from another? What do you have that you were not given? (1 Corinthians 4:7).
2. Avoid anger. Proverbs 22:24; Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man thou shalt not go.
The relationship is terrible when your spouse is an angry person. It makes the other partner live as a slave and lose respect. Hence, fear takes over the relationship, and love is affected. Why do you terrify a fellow creature? Is it not Satan that likes to terrify people like a roaring lion? Do not scare people. Remove anger from your life.
3. Avoid Insecurity. Why are you so insecure? “The reason I hide my money from my wife is that if she knows that I have money, she would kill me and become a rich widow.” “If my husband knows I have money, he will not allow me to do anything in my father’s house.” Those things are from the devil. They hinder heaven and righteousness. He that walketh in the truth taketh pleasure to come to the light, that his deeds might be made manifest that they are done in the light (John 3:21). Make your life free. Do not fear. God will protect you.
4. Avoid Evil Speaking. Avoid all evil speaking, backbiting, and gossip. Let us be careful and wise. Be slow to speak (James 1: 19). A wise man holdeth his tongue (Proverbs 17:28; 29:11).
