Storm Proof Your Marriage
1. Be prepared for the culture you are living in.
Four harmful pressures:
• Alternative lifestyles
• Sexual immorality
• The economy
• Radical individualism
Christian response:
• Romans 12:2
• Exodus 23:2
2. Be prepared for the crises you will live through.
THE KEY: COMMITMENT (Isaiah 43:1-2)
• Relax in God's plan
• Recognize God's presence
• Rely on God's protection
3. Be prepared for the changes you will live with.
Reactions to change: You choose (Phil. 4:11-13; I Cor. 3:10-11)
• You can reject it
• You can resist it
• You can resent it
• You can relish it
The foundation for a storm proofed marriage is Jesus Christ.
