Usually the first area in your marriage where there are regrets and wasted time is in the area of finances. So be prepared. In an atmosphere of discontent and pressure, it s easy for Satan to cause us to argue, be sharp with each other, become jealous or insecure not only resulting in regrets, but actually ruining our marriages. Today s society is thoroughly confused about men s roles, women s roles, children s roles, and the family s role in general. Satan actively bombards the news media, television, movies, radio, print, schools, legislation, and every other area.
People don t know what to believe.
All through the Bible God shows us His order in marriage. The husband is to be the head of the family, taking his direction and instruction from Christ. The wife is next in God s plan, followed by the children. Children are to be in submission to parents. It s like a ladder with Christ at the top, husband next, then wife, then children.
