Relationships

From Series: We Two Are One

by Alistair Begg

1 Peter 3:1-7  (ID: 0115)

If a friendship between the opposite sexes leads to marriage, it is important that each partner be prepared with a solid understanding of Biblical marriage. In a world focused on externals, couples should first be committed to a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. In this sermon, Alistair Begg candidly shares advice based on observations of his own marriage, as well as practical counsel on what to look for in a spouse.

Topics:
1 Peter 3: 1 -7

Wives and Husbands

1Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2when they see your respectful and pure conduct. 3Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.

7Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you1 of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
