Marriage

Pastor Warren Richardson

---

Genesis 2:24

Ephesians 4:3

1. Many are married but they are not joined.

A Godly marriage is like a triangle

• God’s plan for oneness is ONE PICTURE.

• First comes marriage then comes real agape love.

• God is the 3rd partner in the marriage.

  
  

2. Real men pour into their wives!

Ephesians 5:22-25

Wonder what would happen if you were committed to the marriage.

3. Bruised love

   • Love pours, lust takes.

   • “Love like you have never been hurt.”

Love requires an openness that is unsettling Commitment and Reciprocity

• Hope healing and the power of an open heart

• The greatest is always in the 3rd dimension.

• The 3rd voice in the marriage is God or the devil.

• “Bruised love is somehow only greater for having suffered the pain.”

• When you stop feeling, you stop believing.

  • “God so loved the would that he gave”

• Your value to the marriage is not what you can bring anatomically but what we give with our presence.

The new level of love is a God love and the good kind of love is what we need in our families and marriages.
