LifeGroup study guide – Week 8: “Happy Wife=Happy Life”

Stepping In: Getting things started!

1-What’s the best advice you’ve ever heard about making a marriage work and grow throughout the years?

 

Building Up: What is God Saying?

Read Proverbs 27:17. How can a spouse (or how does your spouse) help you become a better person?

 

Read Proverbs 5:15-17. This is a picture of making a marriage work. What does the picture mean? What are some of our temptations in today’s world that can keep us from growing closer as a couple?

 

Read Proverbs 5:18-19. Sex was God’s idea. Keep that in mind as you discuss the power of these verses. Again though, what are some ways we’re tempted to NOT continually be intoxicated with our own spouse’s love? How can we keep this fire burning over the long haul?

 

Read Proverbs 5:20-23. Sin has serious consequences. List out the possible consequences and pain of a broken marriage. How does “God’s watchful eye” help keep you on the right path?
