A Godly Legacy - Part 3 - Marriage: Culture or Scripture?

---

Text: I Corinthians 11:3 and Genesis 2:4-24

Today's culture thinks of marriage in terms of popular television shows such as Everybody Loves Raymond and Desperate Housewives but these shows are not the model that we should be following. As Christians we are to base our marriages on scripture and not on the culture in which we live.
 
* Culture has redefined our marriages.
* There is now a try and see mentality.
* There is a me first mentality.
* There does not seem to be a distinct role for men and women today.

Men and women are equal in value yet different in roles.

* The head of man is Christ - (Romans 14:11 and Philippians 2:9-11) - when it comes to submission we usually think of wives submitting to the husbands but the truth is that men are to submit to Christ.
* The head of Christ is God - (John 4:34; John 5:19; John 6:38)
* The head of women is man
* We must embrace the gospel in order for marriage to work.
