Sermon Title: The Godly Husband Submits 1 Peter 3:7
Thesis: What are a husbands responsibility to his wife? In the text we will see 2 very clear responsibilities.
1. 3 dispositions a husband is to have towards his wife a. Understanding: The Bible commands us to live with our wife in a understanding way. Having consideration on her. You are to take her in thought in all you do in your home and family. Eph 5:25ff
b. Chivalry: Men you are to exercise chivalry. We are to handle our wives with care because of their worth. Think about how we are to sacrifice to protect our wives.
c. Companionship: Be a companion to your wife. A fellow heir of the grace of life. It is about what is right and how we can do it together. Treat your wife with grace even when she does not deserve it. Think of the grace Christ has shown you. We are in a covenant before God.
2. 4 Areas we are to minister to our wives in
a. In an Understanding Manor: We are to be involved with our wives. It is not always about us. You want your wife to do thing we enjoy and we need to do the same for them.
b. Intellectually: Speak the truth to her in love. Listen to your wife, understand her, dwell with her and spend time with her.
c. Emotionally: When we exercise chivalry and render honor unto our wife we are meeting her emotional needs. Treat her like the princess that she is. We are coequals in the grace of life and we need to minister to her emotionally by showing her respect and honor.
d. Spiritually: Our relationship with our wife is a matter of our own personal spirituality before God. It is God's will for us to take care of our wife.
