Embracing God's Order in Marriage | Marriage Devotional Week 25

Marriage After God

About this episode

God's order in marriage is the focus of week 25 of the Marriage After God 30-week devotional series. Aaron and Jennifer Smith look at how God brings order to everything He makes, from the interdependent parts of a single cell to the creation account in Genesis, and why that same design matters in our homes. They walk through 1 Corinthians 11:3, the created order of man and woman, and the example of Jesus submitting to the Father, showing that headship is a responsibility to lead like Christ rather than a privilege to be served. Wives are called to an active ministry as a perfectly fit helper, and both spouses are motivated by their own relationship with Christ rather than each other's obedience. The episode closes with John 15 and Galatians 5 and a reminder that fruitfulness comes from abiding in Christ, not trying harder. Grab your favorite fruit, pray with your spouse, and pick up Husband After God and Wife After God to go deeper.
