Study Notes
The Husband and Wife Relationship
- The husband and wife relationship is a higher priority than the parent-child relationship.
- As children grow older, they should leave their parents' home and be graduated out of the home.
- The husband and wife should cleave to one another, which means to be welded together or glued together in a commitment that exceeds any other human relationship.
The Marital Relationship as a Covenant
- The marital relationship is referred to as a covenant in Proverbs 2:17 and Malachi 2:14.
- A covenant is a sacred commitment that is not easily broken.
- The husband and wife relationship should be superglued together, and pulling it apart would be very painful.
The Basis of the Relationship
- The basis of the relationship is not primarily an emotional or romantic relationship.
- The basis is being welded together through a sacred promise made before God.
- The commitment is considered unbreakable, and nothing on earth should break it.
One Flesh
- The phrase "one flesh" means more than just a physical relationship in marriage.
- It includes a planning for a lifetime together, rather than planning for contingency in case of divorce.
Reasons for Divorce
- Divorce should only occur for two reasons: unrepentant adultery and abandonment of an unbelieving spouse.
- Unrepentant adultery is mentioned in Matthew 19, and abandonment of an unbelieving spouse is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 7.
Prioritizing the Husband and Wife Relationship
- The husband and wife relationship takes precedence over every other human relationship.
- Parents should make it easy for their children to leave the home, not make it hard.
Responsibilities in the Husband and Wife Relationship
- The husband should rejoice with his wife, refresh her, bring satisfaction to her, bless her, and be enthusiastic about her and with her (Proverbs 5:15-20).
- The husband is responsible to nourish and cherish his wife, meet her needs, and build her up in her strengths and help her in her weaknesses (Ephesians 5:28-29).
- The husband is to dwell with his wife according to knowledge and treat her with respect as a weaker vessel and as an heir with him with the gracious gift of life (1 Peter 3:7).
- The husband is to provide for his family, including emotional support (1 Timothy 5:8).
Responsibilities in the Family
- Children are to be reared to leave the home, not stay in the home.
- The family should prioritize the husband and wife relationship over every other relationship.
- The church should have ministries that support and supplement the family, especially when they are struggling.
