The term “Self-love” is very popular in our society today. As we looked at last week, the real meaning of it is not what the world has sugarcoated it to be. And the false teachings are really nothing more than scripture taken out of context to make the Bible say what they want to believe.
As we continue our chat today about self-love, we’re going to take a look at the dangers of it, how practicing self-love affects our marriages, and the kind of love that we should have for one another.
Let’s get started.

The struggle is real because the flesh is weak. We set our minds to be more submissive and show respect to our husbands. To be patient, loving, and kind to others.
However, we are often frustrated by our weaknesses and failure to change. We lose hope because, no matter how hard we try, we continue to struggle to become the godly woman we want to be.
But there is hope because we have the Holy Spirit to help us. One who works in us to renew our minds to make us more like Christ. See how!

Trust is vital in a marriage relationship. It is something that we have to work at, always protect, and rebuild if lost.
Many find trusting their spouse to be very difficult either due to how they have been treated in the past or because the bond of trust has been broken in the marriage.
In today’s episode we’re taking a look at how as wives, we can help to build trust in our marriages, the dangers of the accusations of mistrust and how to avoid them, as well as how to rebuild trust once it’s been lost.
Let’s get started.

If our God abounds in love and grace, then why is life such a struggle at times? Why do we have problems in our marriages, with our finances, or with illness in our family?
Why can’t being a believer in a mighty sovereign God mean that our life is easy and peaceful. What is the purpose and how do we navigate these adversities?
We’re going to take a look at all of this today in an effort to understand why God not only allows, but sometimes plans, the difficulties and challenges in our lives.
Let’s get started.

Divorce has become a common occurrence in our society, with an estimated 45% of marriages ending in divorce. Even among believers, marriages not only end due to infidelity, but because of financial struggles, lack of commitment and unmet expectations. But what does the Bible say about divorce? Does God really lead some people to leave their spouse? We’re looking at God’s view of marriage and divorce today, as well as what can help us keep the commitment we’ve made to our husbands.

Because of the way our world is today with being careful to look out for ourselves and the desire to be independent. Some women can be afraid to follow God’s calling of becoming a submissive wife. They feel it means they are less worthy, will lose their identity, or merely live in their husband's shadow.
Today we’re ending those fears as we take a look at how following our God-given roles and responsibilities, is not only a part of who we are in Christ, but gives us direction and purpose.

The enemy is real, he walks around seeking whom he may devour, and he is after our marriages.
In the previous episodes, we’ve learned about Satan tactics and God's armor to protect us against the attacks. We’ve also talked about why the enemy is after our marriages and wants them to fail.
Today, we’re looking at the one weapon God has given us to fight back with, a commandment, and a warning, to help us in our battle. Join me as we finish up our series today.
