• The Christian Home is to be lived in the very presence and atmosphere of the Lord.
  
• The Christian Home is to be governed by the Lord. And the decisions are to be made in light of His will.
  
• The Christian Home is not to have two partners but three Christ, the husband and the wife.
  

Old Mind set: 17-20

New Mind set: 20-30

3. Other baggage from old mind set:

• Rage, and anger (violent, explosive anger from boiling emotions)  
  
• Brawling, slander, (loud boisterous arguing or quarreling) 
  
• and along with every form of  malice (hurtful injurious speech). 
  

The purpose for marriage is

1. Procreation  (Genesis1:28)  
   
2. Companionship (Genesis 2:18) 
   
3. Sexual fulfillment 1 Corinthians 7:4-5, Hebrews 13:4
   

Submission:

• To be arranged under the authority of someone voluntarily to ensue victory
  
• Has to do with our attitude toward leadership
  
• The Kingdom of god is discredited when we walk outside of the authority structure He has designed

Lie #1: My husband is unsaved or He is leading an immoral life that no ones knows about.

Lie #2:  My husband makes rash decisions.  He doesn’t pray about them.

Lie #3 My husband is a Godly father and does not lead our children in their walk with the Lord.

1. Sacrificial.

2.Sanctifying. 

• Sanctify means: to make holy Or set apart for a special service.
  
• The word the NASB translates dishonored is the same word that is translated “blasphemed”.
  
• We are to love them in such a way that we allow them to remain pure. 
  
• We will protect our wives in every way. 
  
• We will always be looking out for her best interests. 
  
• A man who will never lift a finger to help his wife is a man who loves himself more than his wife.   No wonder she does not want to submit to him!
  
• We should not have a negative thing to tell other people about our wives, we are not to talk about them behind their backs because that dishonors them.
  

3. Satisfying. 

• Agape love will do what is best for the one loved, 
  
• God did this in sending His one and only Son just for us.
  
• Whoever gives your children praise and attention has power over them.
