15th November
Ephesians 5: 22 - 31
Different kinds of connections
A partner requesting connection response.
Kindness and generocity
Looking for the positive or negative
Positive or negative - drawing together or tearing apart.

God has a character of kindness
Titus 3:4

Look for an opportunity of kindness
e.g. David and Mephibosheth.
God's kindness is what draws us towards Him.
It is an essential part of His character.
It should also be an essential part of our character.

Submission has nothing to do with misogyny.
The two are equal but the wife is to submit to the husband as the Church to Christ. The husband is to have a love that adds value to the wife. He is to seek the best for her. Christ seeks the best for us.
It is not about the two as individuals. It is about the couple as one.
The husband and wife need love and respect for each other.
They need to turn towards each other.
