God's Perfect Plan For Marriage | Jimmy Evans

In this special teaching from Jimmy Evans, the founder of XOMarriage and Apostolic Overseer of Radiant Church, he unpacks the most important and revelatory text in the Bible concerning marriage: Ephesians 5.

When marriage is done God's way, there is a 100% chance of success, highlighting the importance of following God's perfect plan for marriage.

There is no plan B in the Bible, God's plan for marriage is the only one that works.

Praying for your spouse can have a transformative impact on your relationship, even in the face of conflict and challenges.

"God's role for men is to be a sacrificial servant leader who is focused on his wife like Jesus is focused on us."

When both partners in a marriage follow God's way, it becomes a win-win deal where both individuals can reach their full potential.

"Marriage works because God made it and he made it perfectly. He didn't make it to fail, he made it to bless us and fulfill his purposes in our lives." - Marriage is a divine institution designed for blessings and fulfillment.

"I pray that there are some people here, young people and maybe not so young people, that have been afraid of marriage and believe the messages of the world that it doesn't work anymore. I pray that those people would have hope for their future and that you would bless them with a wonderful christ-like spouse so that they can reach their potential and get their needs met."

"Wives submit to your own husbands as to the Lord... husbands love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her." - The concept of submission and sacrificial love in marriage can be controversial and thought-provoking.

The number one need of a man is honor and respect, making it essential for wives to understand and fulfill this need in their marriage.

️ "Respect is so important to us, we'll change our behavior for it. You'll never change us through negativity or being mean to us."

️ According to Jimmy Evans, a husband's role is to support his wife in fulfilling her destiny, even if it means putting her needs before his own.

In a marriage, there is no need to establish who the boss is, as Jesus Christ is the ultimate authority. Submission is an attitude, not a hierarchy.

"Men rise to the level of the honor they were given, the more you respect us the more respectable we act."
