In Season 5 Episode 11 of the Forever Marriage Podcast, we talk about certain responsibilities that we pick up in the context of covenant marriage. Here's what they are:
- Love unconditionally. Covenant, unconditional love says, "I choose to love you, regardless of what I get in return from you."
- Honor respectfully. Covenant marriage is literally a descent into greatness. It's a race to see who will be the first to be last. The question becomes, "Can I outdo you in showing honor?"
- Submit mutually. Biblical submission says, "I come under you to lift you up. I want to help you experience God's fullness in your life. I want for you what God wants for you." Mutual submission is a demonstration of humility and surrender; it's not something we demand, but something we give.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Scripture: Romans 5:8, Luke 6:32, Romans 12:10, Ephesians 5:33, Ephesians 5:21, 1 Peter 5:6
