"How to Have a Godly Marriage" - Ephesians

A sermon by Thomas Slager titled “How to Have a Godly Marriage” in celebration of Father’s Day.
Ephesians 5:22-33 reveals God’s design for marriage roles that serve as a beautiful reflection of the relationship between Christ and the church. But it’s also a passage that has been heartbreakingly abused in ways that lead to abuse. Listen in as we learn what the Bible says about how to have a godly marriage.

I will honor my soon to be wife. I will always work hard for my family and respect my freedom and work hard at the job where I work. Thank you Father for every. I understand that I have to put in the work myself.

It's hard to find men who still know and value their place in the society....that's something to admire 🌻

God's design of marriage is the most intimate most beautiful love story ever. God be in my marriage in Jesus name I pray 🙏

[@ephraimmakgahlele5222]

Just came across this sermon and thank you. My marriage is in trouble at the moment. Respect and love is out of relationship.

[@HighlandsChurchAZ]

Thank you Ephraim - we're praying for you and your marriage!

[@jeanetteorrantia988]

I am 42 & not yet married. Right now I don't have the desire to be married and I may never marry. But, I know that Christ (God) will be more than enough. And, having good/solid relationships is also important.

I love the part about, “we must obey God and not men.”

[@elizabethnyambesundano5462]

Powerful and life changing. I feel equipped for my soon to be husband. My expectations and understanding of my role as wife has changed

[@vaijayanthinixon24]

Thank you Pastor for this wonderful message and clarity for how to live in our marriage life, which honors God and my husband. I thank Jesus Christ who blessed me with such a wonderful life with my husband. Thank you Lord !

[@ANDRE-sp2mi]

🌎 Amen. Thank God I will honor my soon to be wife. Thank God I will honor my family.

As an unmarried woman at the moment, this video was very encouraging to watch. Great breakdown and explanation of the roles. The awesome thing about God is that He has given us a guide through His Word. Praying for a God-led marriage in the future.

[@dirkkruger8316]

It's Sunday, we just watched your video.... It was excellent.... So true..... Thank you very much.... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@HolyWarriorPrincess222]

I think this truth calls women to choose WISELY. Women need to be taught HOW TO CHOOSE WISELY. I want a true LEADER I can trust to submit to as He has the ultimate say and I want to trust his ability and commitment to God and his ability to go to God for the right answer. And man enough/responsibile enough to pick up the pieces if not. Oh Lord, sir, may I please be blessed with a man capable of being the Spiritual Leader of our family!🙏

[@athinainneh4886]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE WORD:)) Abuse work both ways! Anyone seeking help should reach out! ENCOURAGING WORD!

[@MsEwilliams1207]

[@jenevegriffith8863]

I've been watching the videos you've uploaded about love, a Godly marriage and Godly family. It's been so life changing, for my family and for myself. Thank you 💞

[@tahneemilla]

Brilliant! Thankyou 🙏🏼

[@pamelahicks8052]

Great Godly Teaching. I shall share this with many married couples! Be Blessed and keep teaching!

[@pennywollett3953]

Thank you for saying that women should not stay in an abusive marriage. I've heard many pastors say they must remain in the marriage and I wonder if they realize they are condemning these women to their physical demise. Best sermon I have heard on this subject, thank you for broaching this difficult subject matter.

[@stevecortes9216]

I was praying for God to help me with this, this morning in my quiet time. So love my wife. But God always has a next level. This really helped me see some good things that I am missing the mark on.

[@lucushall2879]

I was just touched and I gave my life back to God and I feel amazing thank you

Genesis 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
