In this episode, Arnie, Fred and Glenn begin discussing what the Bible says about marriage. We start by noticing what Isaiah says about the attitude of a newly married couple, their excitement and how they present one to the other. It is noted what Malachi says to a husband about how he treated the wife of his youth and what God thought about that. We move on to what God said to Adam and Eve in the beginning and how Jesus went back to this time in correcting the Pharisees in what they had done to God's marriage law. We note what Paul said about being joined to a harlot and what that meant. Paul wrote to Timothy telling him that the scriptures provide everything to men for them to be completely furnished to every good work. Consequently, God has supplied all the guidance we need to live in such a way as to be pleasing to God, in particular relating to our marriages. We look at several passages that Solomon wrote concerning finding a wife and how valuable this is to us. Paul provides guidance about a wife's relationship to her husband as well as the husband's responsibilities to her. Peter gives us similar guidance. We discuss both of these references. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.
