1. You Weren't Designed to be Alone

¹⁸ The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

2. Seek the Unity of the Holy Spirit

Ephesians 4:2-3 (New International Version)

3. Bind Yourself to Someone Who Loves Jesus

2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (New International Version)

¹⁴Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? ¹⁵What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

4. Your Words Are Powerful

Proverbs 17:14 (New International Version)

¹⁴ Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.

5. God Gives You Strength Through Your Spouse

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (New International Version)

⁹ Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

¹⁰ If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

¹¹ Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

¹² Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

6. Wives Are Gifts from God

Proverbs 19:14 (New International Version)

¹⁴ Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

7. Love Is the Compass: Christ-Like Love

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (New International Version)

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
