THE PLACE OF LOVE IN MARRIAGE By Elder Kunle Solanke (Prepared by Yusuf Rufa’i)

1)   Love means lifelong togetherness.

2)   Love means whatever happens to your spouse happens to you.

3)   This concern towards each other is true and lasting love.

4)   Love is expressed in GIVING.

5)   Love is expressed in FORGIVING and FORGETTING.

6)   Love is SACRIFICIAL and CONCEDING.

7)   Love is praying together. A family that prays together stays together and a family that stays together prays together – Philippians 4:6

§  As a family Supplicate together to God.

§  As a family Thanksgiving should be done to God at all times.

Note: A husband is a LEADER and not necessarily the HEAD. If you claim to be the Head, the wife can say she is the NECK; and you know the Head is nowhere without the Neck.    A man who does not have the backing of his wife cannot make it in life. If you want to be a leader then you need to learn the tenets of leadership – Leadership to your wife and children. Leaders lead by example.

Extra Take Away:

Husbands, you must love your wife with all her blemishes.

Wives, you must submit to your husband with all his weaknesses

(Genesis 2:25, Ephesians 5:32-33, Colossians 3:18-19).
