Elijah Ministries Resources: Marriage for God's Glory

Marriage for God's Glory Outline

Who's Leading in Your Marriage?
Who is the leader in your marriage? The husband? The wife? The children's sports schedule? The school demands? For a marriage to glorify God, Jesus Christ must be the leader. He has given clear guidance as to how a marriage may glorify God.

God's Purpose for Marriage
If couples enter marriage with different purposes than God's ordained purposes then it should be no surprise that difficulties and discouragement arise. Wrong expectations are established from wrong notions of God's purposes for marriage. But when we have a clear view of what God intended for marriage, we can expect God's presence, power, and blessing.

The Foundation of the Home
How important is it that you work on your marriage? Extremely important! Your marriage is the foundation of your home and many homes to come. For Jesus' name sake as well as your own, every effort is warranted to seek God for His grace in building marriages for His glory.

Called to be One
The calling of God to be the bride of Christ is an irrevocable call of God to oneness. So also the calling of God to marriage is an irrevocable calling to oneness because it is a picture of the gospel. If we're to have marriages that glorify God, then it is important that we understand the mystery of "the two shall be one."

Rejoicing in His Love
How is it that most marriages begin with love as the common denominator yet most marriages end in divorce? Maybe that "love" isn't true love! Learn how a couple can experience God's kind of love within their marriages as they rejoice in God's great love.

Preaching Christ in Your Marriage
Every marriage preaches Jesus Christ. The question is: What do they preach about Him? One of the greatest privileges a couple has in life is to proclaim the message of Jesus' love for the church and His trustworthiness by the way they relate to each other. God has intended that generations be established for Christ through marriages that glorify God.
