Marriage and the G12 Vision by Pastor Pie Nola



God's Idea of Marriage

  • Marriage God’s Idea
  • God is delighted

Related Points to Ponder

  • Women came from REFINED MATERIAL
  • Men came from RAW MATERIAL
  • God “BLESSED” man and woman!
  • Malachi 2:14
  • “One Flesh” concept
  • No such thing as instant marriage!
  • Don’t marry a person with a “problematic family”, marry someone with a “healthy family.”

Role of a Husband and Wife

  • Traditional: Protector, Producer, Big Boss...
  • Husband Role: Lover & Leader - AFFECTION
  • Wife Role: Submit & Supporter – SECURITY (Financial, Affection, Honesty)
  • Take Note: A child cannot live without a father figure…
  • Right Life Pattern: Work > Save > Give > Spend

Communication in Marriage

Key: Never be silent!

Exchange of ideas

Resolving Conflicts in Marriage

  1. Talk about the problem not the person
  2. Resolve anger – communicate feelings with respect
  3. Keep short account
  4. Watch your words
  5. Learn to listen with your mouth shut
  6. Respond to the need
