Marriage
In a day when half of all marriages fail, we all need insight that stands the test of time. We need wisdom from Scripture to equip us to transform our own union from a lacklustre contract into an intimate and exciting relationship.
Whether you're recently engaged, just realizing the honeymoon is over, or celebrating your golden anniversary, Insight for Living remains committed to helping couples cultivate honesty, exhibit grace, and experience a joy and intimacy in marriage that they never thought possible.
The Difference Between a Wedding and a Marriage
Marriage, as God intended it, is a mutual thing. It goes both ways—God never asks more of one than the other, though He asks the maximum of everyone.
Headship
Marriage is a partnership, not a dictatorship. Christlike leadership is based on love, grace, and honour.
Authority and Submission
Submission doesn’t mean wives are doormats, blindly carrying out orders. It means they’re willingly supportive of their husband’s leadership. Dignity, equality, and unity are the essentials of submission.
Husbands, Love Your Wives
Mature love doesn’t grow cold over the years. True love is long term; it doesn’t give up. That’s how Christ loves us.
A Pattern for Marriage
In the unpredictable journey of marriage, Scripture is the map that points us in the right direction and keeps us on track.
Grace in Marriage
We all know love is important to marriage. But how much thought do we give to grace in marriage? It can make all the difference in a relationship.
Advice from Mars to Venus
Men are especially vulnerable to temptation in times of stress. A wife’s emotional support is critical and these times. Husbands need the wisdom, perspective, and spiritual strength of their spouses.
Give and Take
Anyone can rebel—it comes easily to us. But it takes great strength of character to be humble and live in submission to others.
Freedom and Honour
How a husband treats his wife speaks volumes about his character. A masculine and secure husband honours his wife, and he allows her the freedom to be herself.
