Big Idea: Protect your marriage by…
1. Prioritizing the right pleasures
a. The Word- (5:1, 7; 6:20-22; 7:1ff)
b. The warnings
Men- misplaced attraction (lust)-the treacherous are taken captive by their lust (Prov 11:6)
Women-misplaced beauty (identity)- Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman without discretion
The wife (spouse)-
A crown (12:4a)
A joy (5:17-19).
A gift- (Prov 19:14; 18:22)
2. Resisting your relational proclivity to sin
a. Women- nagging/quarrel (19:13; 21:9, 19; 25:24; 27:15)-
b. Men- neglect-
The solution- The truth is the grass is greener where you water it. Just her, only her, gladly her, always her.
3. Choosing love- love covers all offenses (10:12); whoever covers an offense seeks love (17:9).
