Read Deuteronomy 10:20 & 13:4. The phrase “hold fast” in these verses is the same Hebrew word used in Genesis 2:24. How does seeing this word used of devotion to God influence how you think about devotion to your spouse? How should that practically influence your attitudes/actions toward him/her?
Read Romans 12:2. How might you be tempted to be conformed to worldly ideas about marriage? What Scriptures can renew your mind and bring it back to God’s blueprint for marriage?
Read Genesis 2:18. Wives, as you consider God’s design for you to come alongside and help your husband, in what areas would you like to be more intentional in doing this over the next several weeks?
Read Ephesians 5:28-30. Husbands, what will it practically look like for you to cherish your wife in the coming weeks? How should both your attitudes and actions change in order to see this growth?
Read Proverbs 5:1-6. What are some of the devastating effects that sexual immorality could have on your life and family? Why is God’s design for intimacy the best?
