sunday’s scuds (may 9, 2010)

We continued the marriage series at NewPointe on Sunday. Great day. Great series. Sunday Dwight looked at understanding the woman—her needs and desires.

Here are some of the scuds:

  • Seek to understand before being understood.
  • The prize of marriage is intimacy—and we all long for it.
  • Too often we settle for mere physical intimacy.
  • The greatest gift you can give your spouse is for you to be free.
  • Every wife wants her husband to lead—but she’s afraid he’ll fail at it…so she becomes dominating.
  • We must make decisions based on God’s Word rather than how we feel.
  • Feelings are a good servant but they make a horrible master.
  • Only God can take a destructive spouse and make them beautiful.
  • Nobody’s hopeless.
  • Men, you are called to meet your wife’s needs.
  • If you mistreat your wife, it hinders your prayers.
  • You can always spot a well-loved woman…she’s the one who has nothing to prove.
  • Every wife needs a steady diet of compliments.
  • Men are ready for sex in three seconds and then done in 15 seconds.
  • The most important thing to your wife is that she knows that absolutely no one (other than Christ) is more important to you than her.
  • Your wife has a right to know what’s going on in your life.
  • The better you know each other, the better the sex will be.
  • Marriage is great—but it takes work.
