Couple’s Discipleship Class
Two weeks ago my wife and I started a couples’ discipleship class in our home that meets on Monday nights. We along with 5 other couples are praying that God will strengthen our marriages and put a hedge of protection around them.
Last night was our second meeting and we really had a great time opening up and sharing with each other some of the things that we desire as individuals and opposite sexes. We learned that God created “male and female” and their was a reason behind that design. We’re different by design and therefore we need to live with that in consideration.
The Scripture tells us “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” (1Pet 3:7 KJV) It’s part of our duty as a spouse to understand and gain knowledge about our husband/wife so as to know what they like/dislike. The things that our spouses used to need, may (and most of the time, do…) change over time. It’s therefore our job to get the “knowledge” necessary to be able to honour them the way we should.
We’re learning much and we covet your prayer over the next 5 weeks. By the way, you may be interested in being a part of the next group of couples. If so, talk with your spouse and decide together if ya’ll would like to invest an hour and a half or so of your time for 6 or 7 weeks in your marriage, and then email me about it. (pastorlawrence@me.com) I’ll put it to you this way, I think every couple so far is glad they are investing in their marriage this way.
