Keeping Love Alive - Volume 4 - A Healthy Relationship with Yourself, Part 2
Do you love how God made you? Or are you overly critical and harsh with yourself? Often feeling like you never measure up. In this program, Chip stresses that a thriving marriage is built on a healthy view of ourselves. Wanna learn more? Then join us as we continue Chip’s series, Keeping Love Alive, Volume 4.Main Points
Great marriages are characterized by couples who individually find their identity in Christ and don’t expect their spouses to meet all their personal, spiritual, relational, and emotional needs.
Translation = We are commanded by Jesus to “Love our neighbors as ourselves.” If we don’t love ourselves in a healthy and non-narcissistic way, we will continually ask of our spouses what they can never deliver. --Matthew 22:37-39
The principle = An accurate self-perception demands we know who we are and whose we are. --1 John 3:1
Developing a healthy relationship with yourself requires:
Getting a glimpseof your beginning. --Psalm 139:13-16
Doing an honest self-assessment. --Romans 12:3
Believing who God says you are. --Ephesians 1:3-14
What do we need to believe about God’s character to develop a healthy relationship with ourselves?
His wisdom. --Romans 11:33-36
His gentleness. --Matthew 11:28-30
Conclusion: So often we want our marriage to change by what we think our mate needs to do; when in reality a healthy, self-love for who we are and whose we are frees us from demanding what our mates can never supply.
