I have heard from our good friends Marty and Becky Moseley that the "Peasant Princess" series by pastor Mark Driscoll from Mars Hill Church is life altering. Once you are done reading this blog (provided that you are married) and you are somebody who has not heard this series, go to itunes and podcast it or google it and you will find it on the web. LISTEN TO IT!!! It is amazing and I have only listened to one and a half sermons.
It is based on the book Song of Solomon. It is an amazingly passionate book and one that all of us married ones need to pay special attention to. As I listen to the message I can't help but wonder who would be crazy enough to listen and then not implement the directions for our married lives that this series goes through. It speaks to so many areas and if you struggle in any of the areas, and we all will somewhere, listen and follow wise counsel and bring your marriage to a place it has never been. It is literally blowing my mind!!!
We as men need to be doting almost to the point of nausea over our wives. We need to uphold our wife as a precious child of God that He has entrusted us as her husband to take care of!!!
How can we as men or women withhold ourselves sexually, spiritually, emotionally, or anything else from our spouse? We need to be all in and live our marriages the way that God intended them to be! A marriage is a gift from God. It is not always easy and sometimes we go through some pretty harsh things, but God will bring you through.
I feel like going on for so much more, so all I can say is check it out!!! Please!!! It is amazing!!!
Rachael, I love you and pray that I can live as your husband the way that God has set me to be. You are such a precious gift and more precious then I can express in words. You are an amazing wife, mother, and you are my best friend. I am so blessed by you everyday of our life!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
More to follow as I get further into the series!!!

You made me cry... thank you Ryan for...loving me. I am so blessed to have you as my husband and father of my children. You are an awesome leader.
ReplyDeleteDude, save some of it for the next group. I want to hear your thoughts.You are a mighty man of God. And He has placed in your heart a desire to be like Him as a husband.
ReplyDeleteGood thing God doesn't withhold our needs from us when we upset Him. He is unconditional, and faithful. We are not. I love you Ruethers.
Awesome, Ryan! I'm so glad the series was as effective in your marriage as it's been in ours. Can't wait to tackle "Peasant Princess" with the whole gang this summer! The PecaMose Reu-sons.
ReplyDeleteI listened through this series as Driscoll was going through it. It was amazing and I saved the podcasts for future reference. I think two of them got cut short for some reason but the content was still great. It's a great series for married, engaged, and people thinking about future marriage. Glad you are benefiting from it.
