The sweetness has evaporated from their marriage.
The friendship has faded away.
The person they courted doesn’t seem to be the person they are now living with.
There is distance, coldness, impatience, and conflict that weren’t there in the beginning.
Sometimes a couple will settle for cold war, sometimes they will settle into marital truce, and sometimes they will nip at one another as if they are looking for any opportunity to express their dissatisfaction.
Sometimes it becomes all-out war.
Sometimes couples hide behind their busyness.
Sadly, many couples just walk away, never fully understanding what happened to the relationship that once brought them so much joy.
But the worst is “Everybody Love Raymond”
There are few couples that understand the one thing they need to understand in order for lasting change to take place in their marriage.
They think their battle is with the other, or they think the circumstances in which they find themselves are what need to change.
But here is the reality: all of the horizontal battles are the fruit of a deeper war.
The most important war, the one that needs to be won, is not the war they are having with each other, but a war that wages within them individually.
Real change is all about winning this war.”
I admit it is funny, but i can’t stand how horrible they depict marriage and family in the show.
A dopey husband who avoids responsibilities not associated with golf or sports.
A overbearing and demanding wife who makes the husband look like a bigger goof every chance she get.
They took the stereotypes of husbands and wives and built stories around them.
They make humor out of dysfunction and poke fun at marital norms that destroy families and hurt and scare those involved.
They put out a
behind their busyness.

What did you expect?

Maybe I take it too serious and need to relax, but I can’t laugh at something I hear so often in marriages.
What did you expect?
by Paul David Tripp
I shared the war analogy last week, husbands and wives on their hills battling for position, fighting to win the battles only to lose the war.
I believe the root of this issue is the posture of our marriages.
Posture is an attitude that is often expressed in our bodily position
Anger, sadness, joy, envy...
How we think of ourselves affect our posture
If I think I am important, or loved...
If I think I am right or wrong...
The posture we take in marriage and in our biblical roles deeply effects the health and joy we have in our marriages.
But proper posture in marriage starts with proper posture in relation to Christ.
The proper posture of a follower of Christ is humble submission.
The verb is in the middle voice, indicated that one should voluntarily submit themselves in love to another.
This verse is the final verb in a list of verb describing the actions of those who have the Spirit of God.
Paul has been making the case “The life of a Christian should look like this…”
In this verse he is saying the life of a Christian should be a life of humble, selfless submission to others.
A parallel verse would be “In humility consider others [all 📷 lous, the same word as in Ephesians] better than yourselves”.
- Paul’s thought process is the same in both verses as in Ephesians he says that our submission to one another is a response of our reverence (respect for and honor of) Jesus.
Paul’s thought process is the same in both verses as in Ephesians he says that our submission to one another is a response of our reverence (respect for and honor of) Jesus.
In the Philippians passage he points to the example of Jesus as the example we should live after—“humbled himself to the point of death, even death on the cross…”
Christians aren’t required to be humble
As if there was a moral obligation to be humbly submissive.
Our humble submission is a response to our adoration for Christ
We submit to Christ because He is worth and because of what He has done through the cross and resurrection.
Paul says in that, because of Jesus’ sacrifice, God has “highly exalted” him, so that “every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!”
phil 2
This is proper submission to Christ Jesus for those who have trusted in Him.
Husbands love your wives by humbly and sacrificially leading.
In the passage husbands represent Christ in the marital relationship.
eph 5
Being the head does not mean you make all the decisions, it means you take responsibility.
If a team loses who takes responsibility?
If a squad fails a mission in the military who takes responsibility?
If a company struggles who takes responsibility?
There is always someone who is looked at to take responsibility—known at the HEAD.

John Piper “sense of benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for, and protect”
- John Piper “sense of benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for, and protect”
Benevolent means to seek the good of your wife.
Do what is best for her.
Husbands, take responsibility for the growth of your wives.
1) Husbands take responsibility for the growth of our wives.
we take responsibility for the good of our wives:
vs 26-27—Jesus takes the responsibility for our sin, not that we are not accountable, but Jesus, through the cross has taken the responsibility.
o vs 26-27—Jesus takes the responsibility for our sin, not that we are not accountable, but Jesus, through the cross has taken the responsibility.
Take responsibility for the spiritual growth of our families.
Also Jesus has taken the responsibility to see us grow in holiness.
Husbands take responsibility for the well-being of our wives
Husbands, take responsibility for the well-being of your wives.
Take responsibility for the safety and security of our families.
Take responsibility for the safety and security of our families.
Makes sure our homes are safe
Ensure our finances are in order (not necessarily in charge of it)
Protect your wife and kids from harm
o Take responsibility for providing for our families
Take responsibility for providing for our families
1 timothy 5:8—worse than an unbeliever
God has charged us men with the task of providing for our families.
May require us to lower our standards of living to ensure this happens.
Husbands, take responsibility to nurture your wives.
Nurturing our wives means spending intentional time teaching, listening, instructing, admonishing, singing, pray with/for, and many other things.
You may not have time for hobbies (fishing, hunting, golfing, video games…)
You cannot be overly obsessed with a job, a hobby, personal time, or your buddies.
Require Jesus like selflessness that makes Jesus primary, your wife second, and your family third.
Command to loving Headship- vs 25 “Love your wife”
- The Gospel is the clearest picture for us husbands to follow in loving our wives.
- The Gospel is the clearest picture for us husbands to follow in loving our wives.
- True, God honoring, benevolent headship begins and ends with sacrificial love.
The loving headship of husbands frees wives to lovingly submit to their leadership and serve their families without fear, frustration, insecurity, or defiance.
Wives love your husbands by humbly and sacrificially following.
