In this episode, Arnie, Glenn, Eric and Fred continue their discussion about marriage according to what the Bible says about it. Glenn begins by finishing the reference to the wife being the weaker vessel, why she is to be submissive to her husband as well as her and the husbands family responsibilities. There is a reminder that we must respect God's word and His authority when He established marriage. We next look at a couple of passages that tell us how long God intends for marriages to last. We move on to look at what the Bible says about divorce and the only situation where God allows it. In particular, we look at what Jesus said when the Pharisees questioned Him about divorce. We noted that Jesus went all the way back to the beginning to show them the truth of the matter. We talk about a number of the benefits of the marriage relationship and the responsibility husbands and wives have toward their children. We look at how a happily married couple keep one another from straying from the relationship into sin. We look at what Paul and the Hebrew writer had to say about this and how important it is. Jesus had something to say about our thinking and we discuss that. We conclude by noting that God specified what marriage is, the responsibilities of husbands and wives and how important it is to follow His instructions in order to have happy and faithful lives.
