Episode Highlights:
03:31 - A lot of people put the emphasis on marriage itself, the ceremony, the doves, the train that the bride has on her dress, the bridesmaids, little girls kicking out flowers and rose petals down the aisle. That is but a fraction, less than 1% of what a marriage is, that marital ceremony. The marriage begins actually after you say, "I do."
12:44 - Wives, be subject, be submissive, adapt yourselves to your own husbands as a service for the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife. Now, you might talk the most, you're not the head though. You're not. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, himself, the savior of his body.
31:10 - When you're engaging your spouse, speak in a tone that's inviting and conciliatory. Don't raise your voice. Don't get into an argument, and when you sense that the conversation is about to boil over, be the one that says, "Hold on. It seems like this conversation is about to kind of get out of hand. Why don't we put this on the shelf and come back to it later when we both have cooler heads?" That's wisdom.
