sunday's scuds (october 30, 2011)

Last Sunday at NewPointe Church brought us part three of the 4 EASY STEPS TO WRECK YOUR MARRIAGE series. Wowza. Talk about firing off some scuds. Dwight was talking to the ladies. Scud time:

• It's not that marriage doesn't work--it's that we don't work the marriage.
  
• Ladies, your husband's needs are are different than your needs.
• The way you get your husband to love you better is to respect him.
• If your husband is going to accomplish what he needs to do in the home, he needs his wife's respect.
• Respect to a man is like romance to a woman.
• A man will always withdraw from a place where he does not receive respect.
  
• Respect is not a feeling. It's an action.
• "Respect your husband," is a command...and God will not command you to do something you're not capable of doing.
• Praise is a discipline that reminds us what is right with one another.
  
• A man would rather be unloved than disrespected.
  
• The best way to disrespect your husband: act independently of him.
• There's a deep need in every man to know that you value his perspective.
• Most women don't fully understand how their words hurt their husbands.
  
• The only time a man's heart is completely vulnerable is when he's with the woman he loves.
• Sex unlocks a man's emotions.
• Making love to your husband reassures him that he's desirable.
  
• Sex is the loudest and clearest way that you can tell your husband he's important to you.
• Sex is the strongest form of support a wife can give her husband as he faces a tough world.
• Rejecting sex = rejecting him.

The series continues Sunday at all three NewPointe campuses. If you're there, you're going to hear a great story about a couple who wrecked their marriage and how God put it back together. Their words: if God can fix our marriage, He can fix any marriage.

See you Sunday!
