{ Adapted from A Leaders Heart Devotional, J.Maxwell } Through the vow of the Nazirite (see Numbers 6), God provided a way for both men and women to specially consecrate themselves to the Lord for a special time and purpose. Leaders such as Samson made this vow, committing to abstain from wine and strong drink, to leave their hair uncut, and to avoid contact with corpses. They gave up certain rights or options in order to live at a higher standard.
They did so not to stand in judgment of others, but to discipline themselves against the temptations of the day. How can today's (young) men and women apply the principle behind the Nazarite vow? Have you ever thought about what the 10 Commandments might look like when applied to marriage? Think no more...
I'm putting together a study on marriage for young adults (more to follow) and came across this table in one of the resources I found. It's very practical. (Redesign coming soon =) If you find it to be helpful, share it! A Godly marriage doesn't just happen. It needs to be intentional and both the husband and wife need to be committed to growing together. Use this simple tool as a way to identify the root of some of the 'problems' you are currently experiencing or the ones that seem to appear in cycles.
Take the Tension Test. Do it for the good of your marriage! |
