Summary of the Message:
This week, we continued our "HOW TO BE MARRIED" series. Pastor David Gadberry discussed the importance of viewing marriage as a "team sport" and highlighted three main points: having a team mindset, living by team principles, and practicing team fundamentals. He highlighted how marriage is about unity and working together, focusing on mutual support and cooperation. As we reflect on this week's message, discuss the following questions:
Discussion Questions:
1. In marriage, how can you cultivate a team mindset?
2. In what ways can you incorporate team principles into your daily interactions with your spouse?
3. How can you improve communication and collaboration to strengthen your team dynamic?
4. How can showing selflessness and having each other's back contribute to a stronger marriage bond?
5. What steps can you take to play to win in marriage rather than just "not losing"?
The challenge for the week:
Practice the principles of love outlined in 1 Corinthians 13. Focus on being patient, kind, selfless, and supportive in your interactions to enhance your marriage as a winning team. If you are single, practice these principles with those closes to you.
