I thought the relatioship of Priscilla and Aquilla was such an cool example of a husband and wife submitted to the Lord. He was the center of their relationship. They travelled around with Paul and proclaimed the gospel to the world together. Everytims it talks about them they are together. They knew their stuff too. When the great orator, Apollos, was speaking they took him aside and explained the part of the gospel he didn't know yet and mentored him into ministry.
I hope and pray that my wife and I are completely submitted to the Lord like they were. be Just imagine how cool it was to see a Godly couple who worked together like they did. I hope all of us have examples of a husband and a wife who has completely submitted their hearts to the Lord.
May we pursue relationships with this attitude of having Christ above all. If you are pursuing somone who doesn't pursue Christ as their number one... then should you be seeking after them? I think they are a pretty neat example of what we should seek to imitate.
so true. both a husband and his wife must be loyal to God and inspire their children to be loyal to God as well. the foundation of a family starts with a married couple, and faith in the Lord MUST be present from the very beginning...to the very end.
