Ephesians 5:21-31, Proverbs 31:30-31
Plato had a theory about love. He stated that humans were created with two heads and four extremities. According to him, Zeus, mythological god, would cut us in half and we would spent the rest of our lives looking for our own unique half. That might sound romantic to some, but it has nothing to do with God’s perspective of love. There is nothing in Scriptures that would make us believe that this is true. The Bible is much from pragmatic in this issue. Find a godly woman or men and love them unconditionally through it all. Instead of chasing a perfect half with whom we will experience no problems ever, marriage is design by God to confront our most fundamental weakness: pride.
Woman process emotional information seven times faster than men. What challenge this might bring to a marriage? How have you seen this live out on your own life?
How have you seen people respond when they came to understand that marriage will not provide all they had dreamed it would?
How is marriage a perfect laboratory for learning to overcome our tendency to be selfish, and what is one story that illustrates this from your life?
Why is the idea of a “soulmate” so potentially damaging for a marriage?
Read Proverbs 31. This is a guide for finding a woman for young man. What does it tell us about love?
