The book of Ephesians explains to us two major ingredients for marriage. Love and Respect! God has created the husband to love his wife. This goes far deeper than buying her flowers and saying the words, "I love you."

How do we love our wives in such a way that she feels fulfilled? Jesus gave us the simple example that any husband can follow.

Series description:

How is your marriage? The typical answer would be, "we are doing okay." If they were being honest, they would confess that communication has suffered, love and respect are a thing of the past, and romance, well...that's for newlyweds.

Everything that God created was created to grow and thrive. When we don't work at our relationships, they naturally decline and get....stale.

It's time we get serious about one of the greatest blessings in our lives, our marriages! God has given us clear instructions on how to revive and refresh our marriages. God has given us principles and practices to keep the passion alive and to keep things fresh!
