Before the Wedding Night Pt 1

Dr. Ed Wheat, a family physician and marriage counselor, brings you the two-part series "Before the Wedding Night", specifically directed to those planning to marry soon. This powerful, Bible-based counsel is designed to share wisdom that makes "all the difference in your future well-being and happiness", ensuring that the love you have keeps on growing. While the second part covers detailed sexual counsel for a beautiful start to your physical intimacy, this first episode lays the essential foundation. Dr. Wheat explores the divine marriage ordinance from Genesis 2:24, which acts as the perfect and complete counsel for all marital problems. This ordinance rests on three principles: Leaving all other relationships (including parents, hobbies, and careers) to commit fully to your spouse; Cleaving (clinging together like glue) for a lifetime; and becoming One Flesh in body, mind, heart, and spirit. This episode provides safeguards by identifying the 10 destroyers of love—easily recalled by the letter D—such as Distractions (like television), Debt, and Disapproval (criticism). Furthermore, you will learn principles of unconditional love, the art of communication—"the indispensable factor of marriage"—and the scriptural pattern for roles, where the husband is charged with loving and cherishing his wife, and the wife is to respond and show respect. ---- Get the original source here: https://www.inspirational.org.nz/collections/preacher-ed-wheat/products/4232 ---- Please support this podcast: Donate or become a member and gain access to our digital archive of 3000+ audio and video files For more Christian teachings, visit www.inspirational.org.nz ----
