34 ~ First Steps to a Christian Marriage and Becoming a Submissive Wife

Many of us have dreamed of the perfect marriage and being the perfect wife. But if you’re like me, it wasn’t long before you realized that you had no clue how to make that happen or where to even start.

 

In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned the first steps are to the Christian marriage we've dreamed of and becoming the submissive wife we want to be.

 

No matter where you are in your marriage, these first steps are vital and needed throughout your married life.

Let’s get started.

 

Scripture References

Psalms 119:1-2

Ephesians 4:14-15

Hebrews 11:6

2 Timothy 3:16-17

Deuteronomy 7:9

2 Corinthians 5:17

1 Corinthians 2:5

 

APPLICATION QUESTIONS:

1. When you look back over the past 5 years do you see spiritual growth in your life? Why or why not? What is holding you back, what do you need to change so you can begin to grow?
2. Are you pursuing sound biblical doctrine? How is the preaching at your church? Are you being taught passages of scripture or is the Bible barely opened during the service? What about your Bible study, books you are reading or podcast you are listening to? Is what is being taught based on biblical principles or someone’s opinion on the subject
3. How’s your faith? Are you trusting in God or self? Do you trust the Lord to be faithful and that He alone has the wisdom that can truly change your life?
4. Where does your power to change come from? Do you think that if you work hard enough you can do by yourself? Or when you are weak, do you rely on the power God to work in your life?
