Marriage Tips from Hugh McIntosh

I love creating I love to create banners that display truths from God about marriage. My prayer is that God will use one of my pins to bring someone in the world to a saving faith in Jesus. "For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be as one" (Ephesians 5:31).

#paininescapable#feelings #bible #christianity I have observed that marriages deteriorate, and even become toxic, when the couple lets their negative and destructive human feelings run their lives instead of inviting Jesus to fill their marriage with His powerful, supernatural love and joy.

#faithfulhusbands#ephesians5:25-26#jesus#loveyourwife#christianity#realmen A real man stays faithful to his wife. He doesn’t have time to look at other women because he’s too busy finding new ways to love his wife. “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word” (Ephesians 5:25-26).

#purposeofmarriage#marriageglorifygod#johnpiper#god'sglory#marriagegod The Purpose of Marriage - “The ultimate thing to see in the Bible about marriage is that it exists for God’s glory.

If you hope to be, that should be your dream” (John Piper)
